The artist casts bullet holes and transforms them into glass sculptures.
Isaac Chong Wai’s fragile amorphous glass sculptures Missing Space (2019)—with GPS numbers mounted on to find the locations—are the casts of bullet holes, dragging a hidden past into now. The display recalls the ideas of temporality, randomness, illusion of instability, danger and susceptibleness, because of their material, because of the way they are still but unstable.
