the exhibition features pear‐shaped light objects surrounded by arches of mirrors,
arranged in a curve to represent a window connecting the past to the future.
LED lights embedded in the objects will glow brighter as people approach,
and pulsate as if alive. the installation offers a visual and tactile experience
creating an emotionally engaging environment.
