“To Slip Through” is a kinetic glass sculpture that explores the beauty of reaching without grasping. A delicate, ribcage-like form, resembling the claw of a toy machine, hovers above a bowl of lubrication gel and is mechanically submerged. From its tip, a fine thread of gel slowly stretches and drips, forming a continuous, fragile connection. The work becomes a quiet metaphor. Fluid, tentative, robotic, rhythmic. Rather than seizing, it gestures the subtle art of holding space for something or someone without needing to contain it. It invites the viewer to slow down, to witness the forming string as a quiet passing of time.
