The sweetness of decay

Available at Quircky fox Gallery, New Zealand

At first glance, this piece appears sweet and nostalgic, a delicate glass bubble resting on a ceramic base, reminiscent of a childhood music box. Soft pink and blue hues evoke a sense of innocence and comfort, yet a subtle feeling of unease emerges upon closer inspection. The natural forms carry a surreal quality, hinting at an otherworldly reality, while the warmly lit, industrial-inspired houses convey quiet emptiness and a touch of decay. It is the interplay between the charming and the unsettling that gives this miniature world its unique atmosphere.
