A study of matter suspended doubly in time: on "film" and locked within the confines of a plastic space. Evocative perhaps of our own universe's primal, embryonic moments after the Big Bang, when the essential substance of the unfathomable expansion to come was strewn chaotically, seemingly randomly in the void -- yet hinting at structures on the verge of creation. Or, the scene might depict a vast macro study of many universes floating in dimensions beyond our reach and comprehension, wherein our own is but one bubble among the collection.
In either case, what interests me is that the foundational element of the subject is the lack of substance: the presence of an invisible gas forces the formation of transparent, spherical walls at the moment of congealing, giving rise to an illusion -- pockets of nothingness.
