LIGHT IN MOTION

Light in Motion is an interactive installation that transforms the nuances of human movement into visible light. A hand crank generator powers a series of addressable LED lights mounted across three embroidery hoops — but it is not just about generating power. How you move determines what you see.

The speed of cranking controls brightness. The direction — clockwise or counterclockwise — shifts the color of the light. The tilt of the crank changes the flow and direction of the patterns. Every gesture becomes a decision. Every decision becomes light.

This work draws from the phrase "depression cannot hit a busy target" — but extends it further. It is not enough to simply stay in motion. The direction and intentionality of that movement matters. The installation makes this visible: the same speed in different directions creates entirely different light.

Just as the way we move shapes the light we create, the way we live shapes the life we build. The viewer is not a passive observer — they are the only source of energy, color, and form in the piece.
