Resonance Light Installation

Resonance

Resonance is a site specific floating light installation composed of seven modular black iron structures positioned in the waters of Yuejin Harbor. Inspired by the cyclical order of the Seven Luminaries, the installation translates celestial rhythms into sequences of programmed light that extend across water and shoreline. Woven nylon ropes act as both structural tension and luminous surfaces, diffusing light through the steel framework. Through reflections, spatial layering, and controlled light movement, the installation creates a dynamic visual field that shifts with distance and viewpoint.
