Iron meteorites come from exploding stars. When a star is dying, it begins to produce heavier elements. Our star, the Sun, is a young celestial body, and therefore it mostly produces hydrogen and helium - the lightest elements on the periodic table. As soon as a star starts to produce iron, it explodes and becomes a supernova.
The polished iron meteorites in Untitled (2021), which landed in the Egyptian desert at an unknown date, are reshaped into multi-planar crystalline miniatures — simultaneously suggesting a monumentality, while the circular two-way mirror on which they rest provides reflections of their undersides, giving these objects a sense of lightness and multi-dimensionality.
