The series Bottles with Shadows comprises seven works depicting between 108 and over two million bottles. Through serial repetition, a standardized everyday object is transformed into a visual system in which meaning arises from the relationships between the elements. The bottle functions simultaneously as both motif and module: it structures the pictorial field and creates orders between grid, ornament, and surface. As density increases, perception shifts from the individual object toward an increasingly abstract overall structure. Colored bottles and their monochromatic shadows appear as equivalent pictorial planes. Their interplay creates a field of tension that oscillates between differentiation and densification, figuration and abstraction, depending on the viewing distance. The works thus address perception as a process—as an interplay of repetition, distance, and visual organization.
