Stardust Particle is a hanging sculpture that changes appearance depending on the lighting conditions and position of the viewer. The panes of partially reflective filter glass catch the light and reflect the surroundings. The crystalline structure evokes the form of a greatly enlarged stardust particle – a remnant of an exploded star.
