The Optical chandelier is composed of more than 4,500 clear prescription spectacle lenses, each one meticulously removed from discarded frames and reassembled into a new collective structure. These lenses, once tailored to individual eyesight, are transformed into a dense optical mass that forms a perfectly calibrated spherical form. While the work draws an immediate visual parallel to a traditional disco mirror-ball, its behaviour with light is fundamentally different.

Instead of reflecting light outward from mirrored facets, the chandelier bends, refracts, and diffuses illumination through its many layers of transparent lenses. As light passes through this intricate sphere, it fractures into countless directions, creating an atmospheric field of shifting brightness and delicate distortions. The result is a kind of optical constellation—an immersive, almost celestial choreography of light that animates the surrounding environment.

By harnessing the properties of lenses designed to correct vision, the chandelier becomes both a sculptural object and an exploration of perception itself. The work invites viewers to experience light not as a static presence, but as something alive, refracted, and transformed through the accumulated traces of thousands of individual ways of seeing.
