This sculpture meditates on the limits of knowing in an age defined by systems we cannot see inside. It draws on the black box paradox, shared by both machine learning and cognitive science—where despite the hidden and often problematic processes, we still trust the outcomes. The work reflects on how easily perception gives way to automation, and how often we confuse answers with understanding.

The 5 sided cubic lightbox contains a series of photographs captured by documenting the negative spaces between small stones during golden hour. These compositions, shaped by absence—voids formed in light—resemble unfamiliar constellations. They suggest unseen systems constructing meaning through omission, where interpretation is shaped not by clarity but by what remains just out of reach.

Beneath, a fragile glass droplet hangs by a single cord—golden, weightless, held mid-fall. It hovers between stillness and descent, echoing Bergson’s concept of duration: time experienced as continuous, intuitive, and unresolved. The form feels momentary, yet preserved—like a thought or motion caught just before it disappears, suspended before it can settle into certainty.

The sculpture questions whether mystery—once essential to how we experience the world—is being slowly replaced by prediction, compression, and control. In a culture increasingly shaped by systems that claim to know what we want before we do, it asks what becomes of curiosity, of intuition, of wonder. Everything Worth Knowing is Not Yet Known invites us to dwell in uncertainty. It opens a space where discovery is guided by attentiveness and imagination, and where wonder becomes a way of expanding how we sense, think, and move through the world.
