Helen Pashgian’s Untitled (Lens) challenges human perception. The feelings evoked by this meditative sculpture and light installation could be likened to those inspired by medieval sacred spaces that, like Pashgian’s work, use light to take the viewer utterly beyond the outside world, energizing and focusing the mind, and creating transformative experiences.

This installation is part of the exhibition Lumen: The Art and Science of Light.

This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.
