Human vision is remarkably limited.
The colours we experience every day make up only a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, leaving an immense universe existing beyond the reach of our eyes.
This artwork by Annamieke Engelbrecht explores that invisible wavelengths, structures, and phenomena that surround us but remain inaccessible without technology.
Inspired by the discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope, the work imagines a universe that has always existed, waiting for us to develop the means to perceive it.
Now showing in 'Control +Z' in collaboration with the HEAT Winter Arts Festival.
