This elegantly framed chandelier takes its name from the iconic 1950s cartoon character Mister Magoo, whose comically poor eyesight and thick circular spectacles became his defining feature. Drawing on this cultural reference, the piece explores the visual language of magnification, distortion, and the mechanics of seeing.

The chandelier is meticulously constructed from stainless-steel rings, each supporting a series of circular, uncut optical lenses of varying magnifications. These lenses—normally tools of correction and clarity—are recontextualised here as sculptural elements. When viewed through the layered arrangement, they produce shifting distortions and playful optical illusions, echoing the blurred, exaggerated world associated with Mister Magoo himself.

Running through the centre of the chandelier is a vertical line of architectural light tubes, which emit a warm, diffused glow. The steady radiance of the core contrasts with the unpredictable refractions created by the surrounding lenses, setting up a dialogue between precision and distortion, illumination and ambiguity.

Through this interplay, the chandelier becomes both a functional light source and an experiential optical instrument. It invites viewers to reflect on the fragility and subjectivity of perception, transforming a humorous fictional reference into a poetic exploration of how we navigate and interpret the world through the act of seeing.
