"Frozen, fossilized vision, a gaze hardened into a scab. That which is seen and unforgotten is seared as internal matter a remnant that never vanishes."

"Frozen, fossilized vision, a gaze hardened into a scab. That which is seen and unforgotten is seared as internal matter a remnant that never vanishes."

In this work, an aquarium filled with water contains a sample of my vision, transformed into material through the convergence of biological sight and algorithmic systems. The starting point was the mapping of my eye movements across a white background, without any object present. In this state, vision was isolated from the object and turned into a pure choreography of movement. When there is nothing to see, the gaze disengages from the external world and returns inward as an echo.


The mapping data was then fed into an AI system instructed to generate a three dimensional form based on parameters such as dwell time and gaze trajectory. The resulting model was translated into a 3D printed object, exploring vision as a mutable material. Frozen, fossilized vision. A gaze hardened into a scab. What is seen and cannot be forgotten is seared into the body as internal matter, a residue that never vanishes.


The printed sample is suspended inside a glass aquarium using fishing lines and weights, allowing it to remain submerged like a newly formed gaze creature inhabiting the depths. Illuminated from within, it emits its own light, recalling deep sea organisms.

The aquarium functions as a controlled environment where vision, once abstract algorithmic data, becomes a physical body subject to forces of buoyancy, gravity, and restraint.
