Silicon Dialectic: Lens and Implant

Cast glass, silicone breast implants, conceptual installation. 2026.

Left: cast glass discs. Right: my sister's removed breast implants flanking a glass dome. Same silicon, different chemistry. A lens makes the invisible visible. An implant makes the added invisible. PLA from lactic acid. Lac, milk. The breast produces milk. The implant sits in the breast. PLA printed, burned out, void fills with glass. Milk, silicone, glass. All silicon, all body, all fake, all real.
