About Water Ripples Kėdė
Kūrinys paremtas vandens raibuliavimu, o gamtos vaizdą jis paverčia interaktyvia supama kėde, leidžiančia ant kėdės atsisėsti ar atsigulti taip, tarsi kūnas nerūpestingai siūbuotų kartu su vandens raibuliavimo judesiais. Jai būdinga tekanti vandens raibulių tekstūra. Nesvarbu, ar patalpoje ar lauke, ypač ten, kur yra šviesos, jo vandens raibuliukai parodys natūralią šviesą ir šešėlį per žemę. Tai tarsi banguojanti skulptūra su menine koncepcija, kai ji yra ramybės būsenoje; tačiau sąveikaujant jis tampa patraukliu baldu.
