Gravitational Lensing

Gravitational Lensing, Digital Artwork by Steve Zafeiriou, 2022

Listen this Article:

Description

Gravitational Lensing is a digital artwork that draws inspiration from the images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

As we explore the depths of the cosmos through this advanced observatory, we are offered a new perspective of the Universe and our understanding of it.

At the heart of the artwork lies a symbolic representation; an Eye.

The eye, our window to the world, signifies how we perceive and experience the cosmos.

It mirrors the concept of relativity in perception, emphasizing that our understanding of the Universe is inherently tied to our unique vantage point as observers.

Nostalgie World started as an art installation and evolved into a storytelling wellness universe.

In 2023, it was awarded People’s Choice at Doncaster Art Fair.
In 2025, I exhibited it again at the MATAROA Awards as a selected emerging artist.

Now I’m expanding the scope and mission of the project, from an installation into a next-generation, immersive storytelling brand.

I’ve just shipped the first digital experience inside Nostalgie World:
The Journey of Reset - A personalized 7-day journaling experience designed to help you reset, reconnect with yourself, and learn to trust your own voice again.
