The oil-filled rotating object chamber is illuminated from both the front and side, set against a soft grey background, and contains tiny handcrafted glass elements that form stunning, constantly shifting Seabed-like images.

CHITOSHI TAKABAYASHI

Mr Takabayashi was an apprentice in the US with renowned kaleidoscope artists Randy and Sheri Knapp.

After returning to Japan, he began creating his own works in 2009. His art focuses on the use of white and glass elements, inspired by clouds, to create depth, layered textures, and three-dimensional light effects.
