This is a Light Installation of 3 wood laser cut polygonal lantern pieces. Each face of the piece casts beautiful Islamic Geometric Designs. Surrounding the central lanterns, there are hundreds of paper gems made from mirror paper suspended from the ceiling.
The thought behind Dance of Enlightenment was that as humans, we gravitate towards light. Whether to seek comfort, to seek meaning, or to lose ourselves into something more than us.
This visual choreography of light and shadow is a representation of the fleeting dance we waltz in real life. Sometimes out of tune, sometimes tumbling down and sometimes getting a step right.
My aim is to look into the depth of shadows to engage with the wisdom that light holds within. The darkness is essential. It holds the key to balance, structure and harmony. Without one, the other can not exist.
My aim with this installation is to ignite wonder and inspire possibilities.
