1. Focused on Infinity Marker
Focused on Infinity is inspired by diagrams and images of the Fresnel lens, a powerful lighthouse tool used to guide sailors to safe harbors and currently an exhibit at the nearby National Lighthouse Museum. Lambert aims to draw an analogy between the navigation of an intuitive, creative landscape and the relationship between sailors and the ocean, portraying both journeys as explorations of the unknown, guided by a distant light.
