The clear lens seen head-on in its black mount.

The optical bench on a dark surface, its two round grey filters pushed together around the clear lens.

The optical bench on white: two round grey filters and a clear lens spread apart on the metal rails.

Untitled Experiment on Light 01 (2026) explores a series of experiments of light through thinking of its super-positional states. The work combines a custom made optical bench with a projector showcasing algorithmically generated patterns as an attempt to use digital artefacts to create the illusion of motion in a birefringence experiment.
