This installation transforms ordinary anaglyph 3D glasses into stained-glass-like windows. By repurposing these familiar consumer items, the project explores the intersection of the mundane and the divine, inviting viewers to perceive the sacred in unexpected places. The large, intricately designed windows are constructed entirely from carefully arranged ready-made anaglyph glasses. The red and blue lenses create an interplay of color and light, mimicking the luminous quality of traditional stained glass. The structure incorporates elements of Gothic and Islamic patterns, allowing for diverse interpretations. The project challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the ordinary and find beauty in the most unlikely of materials. Referencing Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle," it invites audiences to engage with questions of spirituality, consumerism, and the role of art in shaping our understanding of the world.
