By the edge of the pond, where tranquil waters meet the dreams of creative minds, a boat rests at the water's edge, serving as the starting point for this intriguing artistic creation. Behind it, a trailing formation stretches gracefully and poetically, reminiscent of the frothy wake left by a boat at sea.
This illusion is the result of an arrangement of ceiling panel tiles, repurposed and meticulously arranged in scales. Each scale reflects the surrounding light, creating an ethereal glow that appears to dance with the water's reflections.
The calm waters of the pond create a striking contrast with the dynamic wake, offering viewers a moment of reflection on the interplay between serenity and perpetual motion.
The choice of materials, using repurposed ceiling panel tiles, adds an intriguing dimension to the installation.
The scales that compose the trailing formation recall the organic and random texture of froth while conveying a sense of lightness and fluidity. It's as if the froth itself has been captured and frozen in time, allowing viewers to contemplate it from a new perspective.
This installation goes beyond mere visual contemplation; it evokes deep emotions, reminding us of the transience of life and how moments of beauty and lightness can leave a lasting imprint.
