SUSPENDED FROM THE CEILING OR SUPPORTED BY A CRANE, THE "NIRVANA" INSTALLATION CONSISTS OF HUNDREDS OF LED TUBES INTERTWINED INTO A COMPLEX STRUCTURE RESEMBLING THE RIBS OF AN INVERTED BUD. THE LIGHT LINES, LIKE DANDELION THREADS, WEAVE TOGETHER TO CREATE A SENSE OF LIGHTNESS AND IMPENDING DISAPPEARANCE, AS IF THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE IS ON THE VERGE OF VANISHING. SMOKE ENHANCES THIS EFFECT, BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SPACE AND EMPHASIZING THE ATMOSPHERE OF MYSTERIOUS DISSOLUTION. THE INSTALLATION SYMBOLIZES NIRVANA AS A MOMENT WHEN EVERYTHING GRADUALLY DISSOLVES INTO TRANQUILITY AND HARMONY, LEAVING BEHIND ONLY A DELICATE TRACE OF LIGHT AND MOVEMENT.
