A Hollow

On the space an object leaves open.

A hollow changes how light meets a surface. It gives the metal somewhere to end, and the eye somewhere to stay.

In the Pocket ring, that hollow holds a shadow. In The Six, it appears six times around a picture frame. In The Pocket eyewear, it becomes a detail near the hinge.

The scale changes, but the gesture remains.

An object should make sense before its reference is explained. The relationship is there for whoever looks twice.
