Entangled Luminosity
An installation done for Ontario place's Lumiere exhibition in 2024
This project aims to emphasize the connectivity between two bodies and nature. Utilizing fiberoptic LED lighting, two figures are intertwined much like the root networks connecting plant life to one another. The figures are bonded together, sharing in an exchange of light and information. The forms twisted from rootlike fiberoptic and steel wires light up and cascade through an array of colour. Each figure taking on its own shades creating a dynamic sense of individuality, duality, and intimacy between the two interacting figures. This figurative dance and exchange of light a colour bring an everchanging sense of fluidity and growth. Embodying an emotional connection between two people and the vulnerability of this affection. Emphasizing the importance of connection with the self, others, and the land. Where are we situated, with whom are we situated and how do we show up as ourselves in these places? How do our connections influence our own sense of individuality? These bonds as natural and complex as the roots we stand on, connecting us to each other through intangible pathways.
