Of All Things is a site-specific installation that explores our relationship to space—both physical and theoretical—through the lens of the Multiverse and the Black Hole Big Bang Theory. Created for ICE Gallery, the work engages directly with the architecture of the space, mirroring its structural elements and responding to its unique conditions. Like all works exhibited in this gallery, Of All Things cannot exist in the same way elsewhere, reinforcing the idea that context defines experience, much as the universe itself is shaped by the forces acting upon it.

The installation is constructed from a series of pyramid forms, a reference to the cosmic timeline: the universe expanding outward from a single point of origin. Each pyramid also embodies the concept that every black hole may give birth to a new universe—an infinite chain of creation extending beyond our perception. The surface treatment of black spray paint on white forms creates shadows that, while uniform, remain inconsistent—an allusion to the temperature variations in the cosmic microwave background, which some scientists theorize as evidence of other bubble universes brushing against our own. This interplay between repetition and variation, order and imperfection, mirrors the paradoxes within cosmology itself.

By responding to both the architecture of ICE Gallery and the expansive ideas of modern astrophysics, Of All Things invites viewers to reconsider their place in a universe that is both structured and unknowable. The work connects physical space with complex scientific theories, highlighting the push and pull between what we can see and the hidden forces that shape our world.
