Crystal View (2008) – Vision as Structure

Crystal View investigates perception through circular compositions executed on Dibond supports with engraved plexiglass overlays. The layered construction produces a crystalline depth effect, evoking the structure of the iris.

Three dominant chromatic fields—red, blue, and green—define differentiated modes of vision. Red is associated with intensity and immediacy; blue with receptivity and depth; green with equilibrium and organic presence. The colors do not replicate natural eye tones but operate as symbolic and structural choices.

The triadic palette recalls the RGB system of digital color construction, situating the work within a contemporary visual grammar. The irises are therefore not representational but abstracted lenses through which perception itself becomes the subject.

In Crystal View, the eye functions simultaneously as observing organ and visual surface. The series frames vision as constructed, mediated, and symbolically encoded through color.
