Object 141

Object 141 from Phil Seder’s Roswell Series is a sculptural meditation on extraterrestrial myth, secrecy, and the allure of the unknown. A luminous metallic sphere, reminiscent of both spacecraft and celestial bodies, hovers delicately in a forged steel cradle. Golden vector lines trace across its surface, suggesting navigation, geometry, or coded meaning. The sphere’s iridescent finish reflects and distorts its environment, evoking a sense of shifting reality and hidden dimensions.

Beneath the orb, a sharply faceted walnut base anchors the piece with earthy warmth and organic contrast. Etched into its angled surface is a spiral of cryptic, alien-like script—suggesting a message or artifact from beyond. The composition balances the natural and the fabricated, the grounded and the speculative, inviting viewers to question what is real, what is myth, and what remains just out of reach. Object 141 stands as a poetic relic from an imagined encounter, quietly pulsing with curiosity and mystery.
