A Light Installation - ‘Photosynthesis’.
The installation asks what it means for something artificial to live, and for something living to depend on human touch. It is the ghost of a flower, and it becomes ‘alive’ only when it is nourished with light and water, like any other flower.
It hovers gently in space. As it turns, the sculpture catches and refracts light like a living organism reaching toward the sun. Its needs mirror the dependencies shared by the living, the non-living and the soomething in between.
