This hanging sculptural piece-installation is crafted from delicate Washi paper, with layers of varnish enhancing its texture and durability. At its core, the sculpture is illuminated by a warm orange LED light, which pulses rhythmically from within, mimicking the soft, steady beat of a heart. This heartbeat-like flicker gives the sculpture a life of its own, evoking a sense of organic rhythm and vitality.
The work explores the interplay between paper, light, and space, delving into the idea of movement and time. The texture and gentle folds of the Washi paper suggest a slow, natural process of growth, as if the sculpture is unfolding before us, a living organism expanding and breathing in the space it occupies. The paper’s twists and turns emanate from its center, reaching outward in a display that resembles the unfolding petals of a flower or the expansive wings of a bird—an expression of life’s impulse, a yearning to soar.
As the light filters through the layers of paper, it creates a translucent effect, casting a soft, warm glow that gradually pulses in and out, mimicking too the the pulse of the cosmos. The layering of light and paper invites the viewer to experience not just an object, but a living, breathing moment in time—Trans-Lucido is both a visual and sensory encounter, where light, paper, and movement converge to evoke the essence of life itself.
