Spatial Calligraphy of Light and Wind
* On sunny days with wind
On sunny days when the wind blows, this artwork appears in the sky. It shines when the sun comes out and glows when the sun sets. And when the wind stops, it disappears.
Materials made by humans, such as concrete, maintain a stable structure on their own much like stone.
Vortices on the other hand are created and sustained by the water that continuously flows inwards and outwards, maintaining an ordered structure within that flow. Life similarly maintains order through the continuous inward and outward flow of energy and matter through food.
This artwork does not float in the sky by trapping air inside and relying on its internal pressure. The inlet and outlet are the same size, and the wind continuously flows through the inside. By that very flow, the structure of the lines dancing in the sky is created and its existence is maintained. The artwork has no structure by itself, but rather the structure emerges from the flow; it is soft and flexible like a life form. The flow is what creates order from chaos.
The wind that raises this artwork into the sky is natural wind. Humans cannot control when it blows, or how strongly. The existence of the artwork is grounded not in human intention, but in the environment. When the wind blows, lines are drawn in the sky, and when the wind stops, the lines disappear. The form of the lines continuously drawn in the sky is the form of the wind itself.
This artwork is an attempt to expand sculpture from a fixed object into an existence whose structure continues to be generated by a continuous flow within the open environment of the natural wind.
