Split a Second

Split a Second


I am splitting a second,
To create a dimension only for you.
For you to look at yourself.
Do you fear yourself?
I can see you in the debris.
I can hear you are talking to yourself.
Then,
Do you fear me?
I am here to give your stronger power.
You are not alone.

Split a Second is a gradient mirror inspired by the fragility of glass. It visualizes the action of a sphere passing through a sheet of glass. Two objects originally separated come together through this action.
