Sudden Rupture — The Mirror Falls 

Galerie Watson, Hamburg, Germany, 2026 


Sudden Rupture — The Mirror Falls is a collectable work developed from the large-scale installation of the same name: a meditation on presence and impermanence, in which the threshold between tension and transformation becomes visible.

At its centre, a polished mirrored sphere hovers above a shallow reflecting pool, suspended, poised between composure and imminent collapse. Then, without signal, it falls. Water breaks. Ripples surge. Mist rises. Light fractures and scatters. And stillness returns, transformed, quietly charged with memory.

Each fall is unique. The irregular rhythm of falling and stillness renders time elastic, moments and memory collapsing into one another. Drawing on Jungian ideas of the shadow self, the sphere becomes a mirror of what lies beneath the surface, an invitation to confront uncertainty, fragility and sudden change.

A mirror falls. A rhythm falters. A familiar cadence is broken. Not an end, but a passage, into cyclical time, where slowness, attention and receptivity find space to unfold.
