About Water Ripples Scaun

Lucrarea se bazează pe ondulațiile apei și transformă scena naturală într-un balansoar interactiv care vă permite să vă așezați sau să vă întindeți pe scaun ca și cum corpul se leagănă nepăsător odată cu mișcările ondulațiilor de apă. Caracteristica acesteia este textura curgătoare a ondulațiilor de apă. Indiferent de interior sau exterior, mai ales acolo unde există lumină, valuri de apă vor arăta lumina naturală și umbra prin pământ. Este ca o sculptură ondulată cu concepție artistică atunci când este în repaus; cu toate acestea, devine o piesă de mobilier fascinantă atunci când are loc o interacțiune.
