Navel of the World, Dustin Yellin (United States, b. 1975), 2021, glass, collage, and acrylic, 71 1/8 x 27 1/4 x 16 in.
The image depicts a colorful and abstract representation of a human figure encapsulated within rectangular glass blocks. The figure is created using a variety of colors that look like colorful liquids and bubbles, giving it an ethereal appearance. The torso is filled with a greenish-blue, while the legs transition from purple to red and finally to yellow at the feet. Two circular shapes are positioned where the head and stomach would be, resembling abstract representations of the sun or celestial bodies. The background is white, which contrasts with and highlights the vibrant colors within the glass block. The figure is filled with small paper cut outs of animals, people, plants, ships, cars, and more that are both within the human figure but also float about it.
