This artwork was inspired by the masterpiece of Hans Holbein the Younger in the 17th century - The Ambassadors, held by the National Gallery in London. The work explores the idea of mortality - precisely, your awareness of your mortality. This synthesis of painting and sculpture takes the concept of "Aperture Synthesis" from Astronomy. It metaphorically applies the technique to Holbein's work, offering an alternative perspective on the same heavenly bodies. The piece explores the relationship between time and space, life and death, and colour and texture.
