The Canadian-Trinidadian artist known as Talwst makes tiny dioramas inside vintage and antique ring boxes in a series called Infinity. The subjects range from a prehistoric mann paying cave walls to a Star Trek porn shoot.
According to the artist, the idea for this series of miniature dioramas came about when a street vendor in Paris handed him an antique ring box and told him “I want to see what you make with this.” Talwst created a scene of a figure emerging from the sea and has been creating tiny scenes ever since.
