BEIJING 2024  

This light installation is an exploration at the confluence of light, geometry, and materiality. Constructed from 50mm thick acrylic CNC-milled into triangular sectional channels, this work transforms into an immersive optical piece, continually reshaping its visual impact through interaction with light and the viewer’s movement. Its 30mm solid stainless-steel base provides a grounded weight and structure, juxtaposing the acrylic’s visual lightness to create a duality of mass and transparency.

As a non-site-specific installation, this work occupies a liminal space between light sculpture, art installation, and designed object. Its geometry and material properties exploit acrylic’s refractive and reflective qualities, filtering, bending, and refracting light to generate shifting optical patterns. These patterns evolve as viewers alter their positions, resulting in a constantly renewing visual dialogue that emphasizes the viewer’s active role in completing the experience. Rather than a static object, the work is an interactive canvas for light, inviting participation as integral to its full realization.

This piece embodies a dynamic, relational presence, activated by its surroundings and the interactions it elicits. Like architecture, which finds its essence in the poetry of light and human interaction within spaces, this sculpture is activated through its engagement with light, environment, and audience. It asks us to reconsider the boundaries of form and space, encouraging fluidity and responsiveness as essential design principles. It reminds us of our shared spatial connections and the unseen relationships woven through light, place, and human presence.

Exhibited at the Guardian Art Center in Beijing as part of the “Common Habitat” exhibition, it prompts viewers to reflect on the intersections of individual perception and shared experience, positioning itself as a living entity within our collective spatial environment.
