Kris Ruhs (born 1952, New York) presents 'Wave After Wave' at Galleria Carla Sozzani in Milan. The installation creates an immersive atmosphere through a combination of ceramics, iron, copper, Lego, string, and found objects. Ruhs's research focuses on light and perception, and the work forms a narrative through shapes, shadows, and structures. The dim lighting gives the objects organic forms, evoking a lost microcosm frozen in an unreal past, like a diorama.
