Wave is constructed as a modular system in which glass planes are held in balance through a slot connection. The position of each element is determined by gravity and counter-support, creating a delicate balance between stability and movement.
Arranged in sequence, the elements form a rhythmic structure that unfolds through space as a continuous line. Individual planes are linked into a single trajectory, generating a fluid movement between two points. The work is grounded in repetition and variation within a rule-based system.
The structure draws on the logic of a river as a connective force. Rivers link places, people, and cultures while moving across shifting landscapes. In a similar way, Wave establishes relationships within the space it occupies, connecting interior and exterior and extending beyond its immediate boundaries.
Horizontal layers of color embedded in the glass accentuate the direction and flow of the structure. As light and viewpoint change, the work shifts between presence and near transparency, at times dissolving into its surroundings.
The color distribution is partly determined by chance, introducing variation within the system. Wave operates as an open construction, adaptable to different spatial contexts and configurations.
The installation ‘Wave’ arises out of a fascination for a simple construction, carried by a sense of connection. Two elements interlocked by gravity to form construction and angle. Repetition turns them into a moving wavy line, a reference to the Rhine, which connects people and cultures. The coloured glass captures the space and the fluid movement of the spectator, allowing them to be part of the installation.
