Snowball - plywood, carboard, wire, motor, 2023
The installation plays with contrasts of speed and impact, depicting a snowball that transforms into multiple snowflakes. A fast snowball hits a window glass and suddenly it is captured motionless. At the same time it falls apart into small snowflakes that are zoomed in into bigger scale.
Reliquary - plywood, spray paint, wire, motors, 2023
What is the most precious gem that sparkles, shimmers and has the power to change the world? It is a snowflake. The rotating shapes of this kinetic window display are based on the gothic style of stained glass windows at Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, and the outer form relates to a feretory or a container of relics.
