Two glass forms appear empty, yet what they contain is a very specific kind of nothingness: air collected from a Buddhist meditation centre in the Himalayas, where practitioners gather to cultivate awareness and presence.

The forms were opened in the meditation space left for two weeks and then sealed and returned to Europe. The volcanic rocks represent the prehistoric force that can break anything — besides the concepts we hold in our minds.

In this sense, the work becomes a representation of Śūnyatā — the Buddhist concept of emptiness. Not emptiness as absence, but emptiness as the absence of inherent meaning or fixed essence. What we perceive as reality is something the mind continuously constructs, projects, and interprets.

These forms contain “nothing.” But that nothing becomes whatever we bring to it.
