Light object implemented by: Art Academy of Latvia
A three-dimensional cube of light suspended between trees gradually changes intensity. Its faces darken one after another until only the outline remains visible, then the light slowly returns. The work creates a brief, repeating event that invites viewers to pause and wait for one specific moment of transformation.
This is a light artwork in the Art Academy of Latvia student programme. The exhibition of works by students of the Latvian Academy of Arts forms part of the artistic narrative of Kronvalda Park route of light “Awaken!”. The works encourage visitors to pause, notice their surroundings and become aware of their own presence. Breath, conversation, an impulse of light, the flow of people and the temporary transformation of a familiar place create a transition from an individual moment to a shared experience.
