Liquid Glass

An installation for the Chicago Architecture Biennial that reflects on how water, invisible in air and vapor, can materialize as condensation on windows, supported by the Yale School of Architecture and the Mark Foster Gage Foundation, on view September 19 - November 30, 2025

Liquid Glass is located at the Stony Island Arts Bank and is part of the CAB exhibition Melting Solids. The project examines a larger question about the boundary between our interior and exterior worlds. The work reflects on water as a resource whose invisible presence in air and vapor has the potential to materialize as condensation on windows. The installation, composed of hanging resin objects embedded with various lenses, asks visitors to reflect on the fragility in our ever-changing surroundings as they move between and peer into opaque windows that seemingly stream, drip, and puddle.
