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.

Through reflections, spatial layering, and controlled light movement, the installation creates a dynamic visual field that shifts with distance and viewpoint.
