Inner Light
London, UK, 2024
Inner Light is a captivating light sculpture that intricately engages with its surrounding space. Exploring the perception of simultaneity, it subverts material, space and light to create a contemplative experience. The work prompts viewers to question what they see as true, reflecting their figures both upright and inverted within the same view.
Inspired by Kite’s immersive installation ‘Inner, Outer, Other,’ this artwork translates an architectural concept to a sculptural scale. The piece features two opposing stainless steel mirrors: a large concave mirror that inverts, magnifies and distorts space, seemingly absorbing the room’s energy, and a central convex mirror that collapses perspective, revealing the entire reflected room beyond normal human vision.
Its circular form offers no visual escape, while fine curves create a striking juxtaposition with the environment. As one moves around the sculpture, light appears to wake and wane like the moon, creating the fleeting presence of an eclipse . The hidden light sources, obscured by the curved distortions of the mirrors, adds to the artwork’s allure and sense of weightlessness in space.
