Transmissions
Transmissions is a wall-hung kinetic sculpture that captures, bounces, and fragments light into a dynamic symphony of color. The white circle serves as both a stage and symbolic boundary, unable to contain the boundless light.
At the sculpture's core is a prism whose rotation alternates between gentle and abrupt in an irregular pattern, infusing the piece with mystery. The sound of the motor adds a mechanistic quality and heightens the overall sensory experience. Minimal black lines drawn onto the white circle echo the straight prismatic rays, enhancing the contrast between straight and curved elements.
Materials: pin spotlight, dichroic cubes, prism, motor, electronics, plywood, ink

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
Carl Sagan
Prompted by the 2024 eclipse, Transmissions represents my artistic exploration of the physical and conceptual manifestations inspired by this powerful natural phenomenon.
While creating Transmissions, I considered the connection between light and our shared human experience. Light connects us to the cosmos— a link to the larger forces that created and sustain life on Earth.
