Crystal Waters explores the dreamlike state by using dramatic lighting and vibrant colours to bring objects to life. Drawing inspiration from the neon hues typically associated with nightlife, the exhibit evokes a sense of fluidity and motion. As night falls, the installation transforms, revealing a new expression where previously unseen details come to light. In this dynamic environment, visitors are invited to explore new ways of existing, uncovering what remains hidden during the day.
By incorporating abstract forms and shapes reminiscent of the human body, the exhibit blurs the line between reality and abstraction. What appears as a singular object during the day is reimagined at night, evolving into an expressive interplay of colour, movement, and light. This dreamlike atmosphere immerses viewers in a world of transformation and boundless expression.
