About this work

This circular glass table, treated with a colour-gradient film, continues Rive Roshan’s exploration of colour on glass surfaces. As light passes through the glass, different tones are absorbed, casting a coloured trail onto the surrounding floor. The table functions like a projector or lens, creating the impression that time is held within the settling hues. The resulting image is constantly changing, shaped by the angle of the light source.
