The installation attempts to visualize breath
by using blown glass, which in the process of making is conceived
by breath. It consists of a number of glass bubbles with my breath
sealed inside. The bubbles are hung at head-height and invite the
viewers to walk amongst them. Inside the bubbles the viewers can
see small traces of condensation, originating from the moisture
in the lungs, also sealed inside during the making. On the surface
of the glass they can see a double reflection of themselves and
the room.
My Breath Inside/Inside My Breath speaks
about presence, how breath is part of a person even thought that
person is not present in the room. Although, I have not in reality
visualized the invisible (as when we watch an apple falling we do
not see gravity) I captures the essence of breath using blown glass.
