Instant Karma No. 14

A luminous sculpture by Lori Hersberger, *Instant Karma No. 14* is crafted from stainless steel and lavished with a rich 24-karat galvanic gold plating that lends it an opulent, otherworldly radiance. The reflective golden surface plays with light and perception, blurring the boundaries between the material and the ethereal. True to Hersberger's practice, the work evokes themes of transformation, desire, and the transient nature of value and beauty.
