Dylan Martinez
Dylan Martinez crafts hyperreal glass sculptures that masterfully blur the line between perception and belief. His works, whether replicating the delicate form of water-filled plastic bags or manifesting ethereal digital ghosts in tangible glass, provoke a reconsideration of materiality, memory, and reality. Objects that appear disposable are transformed into treasures, and forms that seem fluid reveal their rigid nature. Through these illusions, Martinez engages the viewer in an exploration of the mechanisms behind seeing, encouraging a profound reflection on both the act of observation and the meanings we assign to what we perceive.
