Supernova – Death of a Star merges reflective and shiny materials into a single luminous entity. Like the cosmic material ejected during a supernova — which enriches space, forming nebulae, planets, and new celestial bodies — the installation unites diverse elements to generate a new artistic universe, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of Sali Muller’s visual style.
A supernova is both powerful and catastrophic: when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle, it can briefly shine as brightly as an entire galaxy. In Supernova – Death of a Star, mirrored and reflective surfaces echo this explosive luminosity, releasing bursts of light and energy that continuously shift as viewers move around the work. Reflections multiply, fragment, and recombine, producing a dynamic, ever-changing object that transforms the exhibition space into a cosmic tableau.
The installation embodies creation through destruction, capturing the cycle of endings and beginnings. Just as a supernova seeds the universe with the building blocks of new worlds, the work generates new possibilities in the viewer’s perception and in the artist’s creative journey. Supernova – Death of a Star is both a spectacle of light and a meditation on transformation, impermanence, and the luminous energy that drives renewal.
