About Water Ripples Kursi
Karya ini didasarkan pada riak air, dan mengubah pemandangan alam menjadi kursi goyang interaktif yang memungkinkan Anda untuk duduk atau berbaring di kursi seolah-olah tubuh berayun dengan hati-hati mengikuti gerakan riak air. Ciri khasnya adalah tekstur riak air yang mengalir. Tidak masalah di dalam atau di luar ruangan, terutama di mana ada cahaya, riak airnya akan menunjukkan cahaya dan bayangan alami melalui tanah. Ini seperti patung riak dengan konsepsi artistik saat diam; namun, itu menjadi perabot yang menarik saat terjadi interaksi.
