About Water Ripples Крэсла
Праца заснавана на рабізне вады і ператварае прыродную сцэну ў інтэрактыўнае крэсла-качалку, якое дазваляе сесці або легчы на крэсла так, нібы цела бесклапотна калыхаецца разам з рухамі рабізны вады. Характэрная для яго плыўная фактура рабізны вады. Незалежна ад таго, у памяшканні ці на вуліцы, асабліва там, дзе ёсць святло, рабізна вады будзе паказваць натуральнае святло і цені праз зямлю. Гэта падобна на рабізную скульптуру з мастацкай канцэпцыяй, калі яна знаходзіцца ў стане спакою; аднак, калі адбываецца ўзаемадзеянне, ён становіцца захапляльным прадметам мэблі.
