Descant
"Descant" is a mesmerizing sculptural installation that transforms the architectural space of a private residence into a canvas for artistic expression. Suspended within the embrace of a skylight, this piece comprises a constellation of delicate, flower-like forms that seem to float ethereally against the backdrop of the sky. By day, natural light filters through the translucent petals, casting a cascade of luminous, organic patterns within the interior space. By night, the installation takes on a different character; the internal lighting elements within each flower imbue the space with an ethereal glow reminiscent of celestial bodies in the night sky. The name "Descant," typically a term for a high toned melodious counterpoint in music, here suggests a lofty visual harmony with the architecture. This artwork not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the residence but also alters the experience of the space, inviting those within to look up and contemplate the beauty of both the crafted and the natural world.
