Description
This circular, hand-shaped sculptural work resembles a celestial relic: fragments suspended in iridescent resin as though they were pieces of a new, undiscovered solar system. Each shard refracts light in neon pinks, aquatic blues, and verdant greens, creating a play between terrestrial tactility and cosmic nostalgia.
The piece speaks in the language of light and color, blending playfulness with infinity — evoking both candy-like joy and the grandeur of galaxies. It expands Haiiileen’s practice of transforming everyday forms into relics of imagined futures, aligning with her ongoing exploration of synesthesia, reflection, and immersive chromatic experience.
Conceptual Framework
This sculpture operates at the intersection of cosmic imagination and tactile intimacy. The hand-shaped fragments can be read as artifacts of human play, while simultaneously suggesting meteoric debris or planetary matter.
By embedding the pieces into a resin field that shimmers like starlight, Haiiileen creates a dialogue between micro and macro scales: the intimate hand-made and the infinite cosmic. This duality recalls her broader practice of reframing objects into vessels of wonder and transcendence.
Archival Significance
This work deepens Haiiileen’s exploration into sculptural cosmologies, building on her reflective mirror works and chromatic installations. It is both a standalone artwork and a conceptual continuation of her interest in play, light, and infinite perception.
It also introduces a celestial dimension to her sculptural vocabulary, positioning the piece as part of her evolving practice of creating cosmic artifacts for future museums
