{"product_id":"a-sphere-bristling-with-light","title":"A Sphere Bristling With Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeen this close, a single grain of pollen becomes a world of its own. What the eye would normally lose in a breath of wind now fills the frame entirely, a pale sphere bristling with hundreds of fine spikes, suspended in absolute black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing added to make it appear this way. The image is not painted, not printed, not drawn in ink. It is built from depth, from a careful presence and absence beneath the surface, so that light itself has to do the work of revealing the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room the piece reads as a single quiet shape, almost a held breath. Step closer and that stillness opens into a field of texture and shadow, spike after spike catching the light from a slightly different angle, as if the sphere were breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePollen is one of nature's smallest travelers, armored and impossibly light at once, built to survive a journey it cannot see the end of. Magnified past all proportion, it becomes something closer to a portrait, fragile life wearing its defenses in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work continues the Art with Void series by Tijs Dragtsma, in which imagery is constructed through depth and absence rather than paint or print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA visual language where absence is not emptiness, but presence. This work is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Even the smallest thing, magnified enough, becomes a universe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the artist, process and materials can be found on the About page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions about this work, availability or shipping can be sent through the contact page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TD Fine Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59034877428037,"sku":null,"price":3750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/0724\/0005\/files\/A_Sphere_Bristling_With_Light_thumbnail.jpg?v=1788000145","url":"https:\/\/tdfineartstudio.com\/products\/a-sphere-bristling-with-light","provider":"TD Fine Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
