Exploring Art Through a Reflective Sculpture

Art inspiring photography has a unique ability to captivate and draw us into a world of creativity and imagination. I saw this remarkable artwork and can genuinely say I spent more than a few moments lost in its beauty, taking multiple photos of the mesmerizing reflections it created.

The artist Keith Tyson has embedded fragments of meteorites collected from Antarctica into a polished steel sphere in his work titled “Field of Heaven.” The concept is to unite materials that have originated as far apart from each other as possible.

Each angle revealed something new, and I found myself striving to capture that one inspiring shot that would encapsulate the essence of the piece. One of the photographs I took appears to show a crow peeking out from the depths of the artwork, its silhouette forming a mysterious figure that invites curiosity. Another image conveys a sense of wonder, resembling a stone or a meteor hurtling forth from a brilliant star, as if it were a fragment of the universe capturing a fleeting moment in time.

Through these reflections, I felt a profound connection to the art, showcasing the hidden narratives and emotions that art often evokes in those who are open to its interpretation. What is your interpretation?

  1. Brilliant photos Ritva 😀 So much to look into and discover. The photo with the distorted chair is my favourite. I like the red dress selfies too.
    Loistavia kuvia Ritva 😀 Niin paljon tutkittavaa ja löydettävää. Kuva vääristyneestä tuolista on suosikkini. Pidän myös punamekkoisista selfieistä.

  2. That’s such a magical concept – simple and yet so effective. I imagine the room in which it’s displayed would become an intrinsic part of the installation, and I wonder what it would look like under a starry sky. Thanks for taking such lovely photographs.
