‘Lumiere: The Art of Light’ Festival, Toronto.

February, 2023

Materials: Neon paracord rope, plexiglass, black light.

‘Bioluminescent Being’ an installation part of the yearly Lumiere: The Art of Light’ Festival, is inspired by the magnificent natural occurrences of bioluminescence

found in many marine organisms, a light spectacle also known as the natural light of the deep

sea. Produced by a chemical process within a living organism, the glow occurs when a molecule

called luciferin reacts with oxygen. This releases energy, and light is emitted. Just like a jelly fish

living deep in the waters or plankton algae dancing on the surface of the ocean, this sculptural

piece that mimics the same chemical reactors that are responsible for this phenomenon,

invites the viewer to walk around it and appreciate the scale and movement that the interlocking

lines create: a sense of wonder, renewal and transformation.
