Ladder
A sequence of straight lines defines the form.
Under gravity, shadows rhythmically unravel the light.
Crown
Strip-like fragments are connected into a circular ring.
The repetition of light introduces a subtle, delicate fluctuation within the shadow.
Roll
Overlapping circular rolls define the form.
Shadows formed inside and outside separate the light, drawing out distinct expressions.
Rim
Layers of light form within a shallow spatial depth.
Light softly bleeds along the edges, while the shadow changes expression depending on the viewpoint.
Tangle
Free cuts cause the outlines of shadow to intertwine.
As it unfolds, intricate images of light emerge, creating a complex rhythm between two and three dimensions.
Wave
A continuous waveform expands as it moves across space.
Its undulating form brings a gentle sense of motion to both light and shadow.
Frame
Continuous U-shaped cuts, then stretch out.
A frame-like structure unfolds in continuous succession.
Shadows that appear within the void emphasize depth and reveal the spread of light.
Bean
An intersecting structure stands on its own to form the shape.
Light and shadow create a balance between flatness and volume.
Drop
Openings within the rolled form produce shadows.
Together with the light falling onto the floor, they form a paired relationship that reads as one.
Helix
A slight shift between light and shadow emerges through rolling and cutting.
A cylinder that appears on the verge of collapse, yet holds, wraps the light and gives the shadow a sculptural thickness.
Knit
Light and shadow are interwoven.
Their overlap—without fully blending—creates a rhythmic contrast.
Spark
A series of continuous cuts forms a unified structure.
Shadows flicker with movement, linking together to accentuate the motion of light.
Process
The development process began with studies in which cuts were made into single sheets of paper to explore three-dimensional forms.
We then moved on to prototyping with actual inorganic electroluminescent sheets, repeatedly testing the structural strength of the material and adjusting the colour of the emitted light.
To create a space in which light and shadow could be perceived with equal intensity, we carefully tested the brightness of each work within a simulated exhibition environment. Through this process, we identified the optimal balance between the illumination of the objects and the surrounding darkness.
