The House of Lenses (the House of Melting Ice)
Convex lens, stainless steel and lightening
400 x 400 x 200cm

The frame of the Eskimo semi-circular igloo is made of stainless steel stuck with double-faced convex lenses. Viewers can see the outside upside-down scene when they enter the house. The focal length of the convex lens is two meters and the semi-diameter of the house is also two meters. So when the sunlight gets through these convex lenses, it focuses on the central point of the semi-circular house to potentially light any substance put there.
