B-Infinity Glass Art – A Vision of Our Future World
The Earth is experiencing a rise in temperature, impacting everyone, particularly in Singapore near the Equator. The heat affects our physical well-being, mental state, and emotions. Due to our insatiable quest for rapid progress, the world’s finite resources are depleting rapidly, upsetting the global balance. It seems like we are hastily fixing the visible damages with temporary solutions while the core issues persist. Is it possible to pause our actions and allow the Earth to recover? The future seems grim, leaving me to ponder if there is hope for our world, collectively.
My belief hints at an apocalyptic conclusion characterized by widespread calamity and devastation, mirroring many Hollywood narratives and the current reality. Seeking answers, I envisioned a new dimension of existence, a new realm different from our limited 3D or speculated 5D world. A new realm of infinite-dimension. Though I had only glimpsed a fraction of it with my limited understanding.
As our familiar world fades, a perfected reality emerges. This new domain, consisting of a new heavens and earth, is not a product of human endeavors but of divine benevolence. Unlike our current spherical Earth, this new world is depicted as a cube with boundless potentials, featuring streets of gold, walls of purest gems, and a perpetual stream of life-giving water from its core. At its heart lies the divine being on the throne emitting a radiance that surpasses the need for sun or moon.
Describing this vision was challenging, as my vocabulary felt inadequate. Visually, traditional mediums like paper and canvas were insufficient, necessitating a medium closer to the envisioned future. Glass represents the purity and clarity of the gold and gems in this infinite-dimensional world. The cube is enveloped by twelve pearl gates, nine of which are depicted in this artwork following the rules of perspective. The River of Life encircles it, evoking images of a vibrant spectrum of colors like rainbows. Imagine the grandeur of the dwellings within this new world, where the animal kingdom coexists harmoniously, lifting the boundaries between predator and prey. In this realm of infinity, sorrow and suffering find no foothold. Contemplate the existence that awaits those who inhabit this world.

Stainless Steel Stand
Due to the weight of B-Infinity, if you want to mount it on a wall, please ascertain that your wall is able to take the weight. Otherwise, we have a stainless steel stand designed for B-Infinity to be displayed on any flat surface strong enough to hold its weight.
Flight Case
For shipping of B-Infinity, be it air or ship freight, it is highly recommended that you order a flight case with it. It can also be a good storage case. The flight case is custom-made for B-Infinity. It does not have space for the stainless steel stand, which needs to be packed separately for freight. Dimensions of the flight case are as below:
- 65cm x 65cm B-Infinity: The external size will be about 70.5*70.5*17.5 cm. Weight 12kg.
- 80cm x 80cm B-Infinity: The external size case will be about 88*88*20.5 cm. Weight 26kg.
