MEMORY SHIELD
by GWENAEL NICOLAS – CURIOSITY
Memory Shield explores the human mind as a landscape of memory and perception. Cast glass elements of varying sizes are aggregated into a larger circular form, reflecting the way individual experiences compose a collective whole. The round composition extends seemingly without end, evoking the infinite within the finite. This sculptural work balances precision and organic variation, creating a contemplative study of accumulation, reflection, and the intricate relationship between part and whole, where light and texture animate the interconnected memory-like forms.
