This piece explores the ultimate truth of manifestation: our fortunes aren’t floating in a pool of blue dye, but waiting to be found within ourselves.
By centering a Magic 8 Ball that flips the script to ask, “What are you looking for?”, the artwork prompts viewers to see that true answers require inner reflection.
Behind the 8 ball sits a vibrant, rose-colored iris—a literal and metaphorical lens for a positive perspective. Encircled by a constellation of inward-facing billiard balls, the composition reminds us that we cue our own destiny.
The piece plays with the language of fortune-telling and games of chance, but lands on a simpler idea: what you’re looking for may become your fortune—not because the 8 Ball said so, but because you believe “it is decidedly so”.
