Orbiting reflections
"Orbiting Reflections" marks the debut work in a same-titled series by Annelies Hellem, exploring the concept of interconnectedness and cyclical motion in nature, thought, and life.The hemispheres, delicately orbiting one another, symbolize the constant exchange of light, energy, and influence. Each sphere reflects fragments of its surroundings, embodying how our actions, emotions, and experiences ripple outward, shaping the world and those around us. This reflection also mirrors our dual nature: we are shaped by our environment yet remain uniquely individual. By inviting the viewer into its reflective surfaces, the artwork dissolves boundaries between observer and creation, reminding us that we are inseparable from this flow. It evokes curiosity and wonder, encouraging exploration of the delicate balance between unity and individuality.
