Cataract

Sound, light, reflection, cast shadows; transparent objects and projections create an ethereal, seductive space subtly pervaded by uneasiness. The suspended glass objects defy gravity but a subtle nagging suggests that they might drop. Large hands are projected on to the glass as signifiers of power and authority, yet they possess their own sense of oppression: tattooed and pinned to the wall by shadows of dishes.
