Crystal System comprises reflective and refractive sculptural elements accessible to audiences of all ages and abilities. The artwork features directional speakers and responsive colored lighting that react to visitor interactions.
Visitors' actions trigger hidden light sources within the sculpture, revealing secret illuminated infinity mirrors. Combined with natural refracted self-portraits from angular mirrored facets, this allows visitors to become co-creators of the artwork. A gentle ruminative soundscape plays continuously throughout the installation.
Crystal System offers new perspectives for contemplating one's existence in relationship to the world and others. This multi-faceted, responsive installation invites audiences to reflect upon and experience the meditative qualities of refracted and reflected light.
