SKIES

Skies is a generative light art sculpture that portrays the ever-changing sky in Zagreb, Croatia. Comprising seven light boxes stacked on top of one another, each box captures the distinct details of the sky. Together, they create a seamless view of the open sky, enhanced by algorithmically programmed dynamic lights and optical filters within the acrylic structure. This combination of photography and technology allows viewers to emotionally connect with the ever-evolving daylight, from sunset to sunrise. Just like in nature, the sky is in a constant state of change, ensuring that no two moments are ever the same. This piece is part of the Skies series.

A series of images of the sculpture revealing the ever-changing sky from sunrise to sunset.

The piece is derived from Maja’s evidence-based research on complimentary benefits of light, art, and biophilia.
