"Soap Bar 2020," a DCG hologram on glass by artist Guillermo Heinze. The piece resembles a translucent soap bar, refracting vivid, abstract light fields in blues, greens, and purples. As light interacts with the object from different angles, the holographic image shifts dynamically. The heavy, glassy form evokes the paradoxical sensation of light as a dense, tangible material. Created during the 2020 pandemic, the object subtly references the global ritual of handwashing.
