Artwork Description

“AntiMatter, Matter (The Antimatter Mistery 2)”, 2017

0.0 x 0.0

Mosaic and Mixed Media: smalti, marble, pebbles, plastic, metal, wood, glass and millefiori on wooden board, direct method (40x51cm). Experiments with equal amounts of matter and antimatter confirmed how, when they come in contact, they annihilate each other and create pure energy. Yet some matter remains (confirming the matter - antimatter asymmetry problem). Fascinating. We are so scared of our anthithesis, whilst in fact - at least in our world - it should be the other way around: the black jaws are indeed the Matter, eating away the Antimatter. Is this what a black hole looks like, seen from the other side?
