Witnessing the transformative effect of proximity. 'Glowing Connections’ is a movable lighting that invites the viewer to participate in the illumination of the stones. By adjusting the rocks and tube positions, one can observe the light intensifying as it draws closer, symbolizing the amplification of each person's natural brilliance through positive interactions. The hanging stones, representing human diversity, celebrate uniqueness and employ the 'Chiaroscuro' technique, reflecting a captivating radiance that emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow within our individuality. This interplay creates a circular reflection, where light symbolizes life and shadows signify our influence over it. The dynamic dance of natural stone and black tube, delicately suspended by steel wire over a pulley, reveals a harmonious relationship between contrasts. Finally, the golden structure makes a direct reference to a renaissance painting frame.
