REDUCED LANDSCAPES, SUN

Reduced Landscapes, Sun is a dynamic light sculpture depicting the candescent sunlight, a transition to another state of being. Just like in nature, the light in the artwork changes its appearance based on the perspective and ambient light, the same state is never repeated. The optical materials are used to create a sense of depth and provide a different view of the piece depending on the angle of viewing. This piece is part of the Reduced Landscapes series.
