Escape/early back-lit prototype
Escape was developed as a compact, on-wall proof-of-concept exploring how my light-reactive art systems could be integrated into existing modular framing structures. Using re-engineered commercially available frames and integrated LED lighting, the work tested whether controlled backlighting, structural stability and clean detailing could be achieved within a minimal footprint—without compromising visual depth or performance.
​
Measuring 42.5 × 52.5 cm, Escape operates at an intimate scale suited to residential, workplace and hospitality settings, while retaining the core qualities of my larger installations: internal activation through light, layered depth and movement emerging from within the work itself. As an early prototype for my Tier 1 art systems, the project demonstrates how light-integrated artworks can be delivered efficiently and accessibly across different contexts, reinforcing the flexibility and scalability of a system-based approach.
Whirlpool/Concept floor art installation
Ovolo Hotel
​
Whirlpool was conceived as my first floor-mounted, multi-panel artwork developed as part of my OASIIS presentation, exploring alternative ways audiences physically engage with light-reactive art systems. Departing from the traditional wall plane, the work emerges from the ground as a portal, inviting viewers to encounter the artwork from above and through movement, rather than from a fixed frontal position.
​
Composed of nine panels forming a continuous 1.8 × 1.8 metre field, Whirlpool reveals a shifting pool of luminescent imagery activated through controlled light. Colour and form appear to circulate beneath the surface, creating an immersive yet grounded spatial anchor. By repositioning the artwork at floor level, the piece transforms the viewer’s relationship to light, depth and perception—you want to kneel in and discover for yourself. This demonstrates directly how light-driven art systems like these can extend immersive environments beyond just the vertcial.
