Radiating allure

Chasing the Sun” is a unique blend of project and sculpture, portraying our profound connection with light across both the real and virtual worlds.

The piece consists of two complementary facets: the physical and the digital. On one hand, the physical structure stands as a beacon on the beachfront, capturing the brilliance of the sun. On the other, its digital twin amplifies the structure’s prominence within the virtual domain. This allows viewers to navigate through time effortlessly with their fingertips, witnessing the sculpture’s transformation throughout the day. The digital element underscores the intensity and zenith of light. As we navigate this digital age, it becomes vital for artists like us to think and create from a “phygital” (merging physical and digital) standpoint.
