Exhibit A
Installation: "Sea Show"
In I II f N G
At first sight, Sea Show appears as a colorful luminic sculpture installed on the wall but then it
suddenly morphs. The colored light patterns on the sides begin blending with the images that
appear in the seemingly concealed TV monitor in the center, immediately shifting the viewer's
sensorial experience, colored by abstraction, animation and story telling. Sea Show borrows its
name from the popular annual event Air&Sea Show, giving it a whimsical spin and posing
critical questions around the environment's role in our lives and our voracious consumption of it.
Is there a parallel between our ingestion of digital screen content and our depletion of natural
resources? I created the first iteration of this piece last year, titled Flight of Colors and it was
displayed at the Coral Springs Museum as part of a group exhibit titled 'Color + Light + Space'. I
am proposing a second iteration utilizing the same sculpture but replacing the video the viewer
will see in the TV monitor. The video of Flight of Colors alternates images of an egret in the
Everglades, moving bars of colors and flocks of birds, having as focal point the act of flying, be it
by human hands or birds. The video for Sky&Sea Show will explore elements of water, color
and light using digital animation, spreading out from the centre of the sculpture, at times
blending with the light patterns on each side, at times starkly contrasting them. The video will
play in a loop and will be approximately six to eight minutes long. The sculpture is ten feet wide,
consisting of a curved TV monitor with two LED panels attached on each side, plexiglass, wood
and colored transparency paper. It can be turned on and off by plugging it and unplugging it
from the wall or from a power source. It can also be operated automatically with a timer at the
15
client's request. My work often combines media, sculpture and installation, investigating my
interest interest in both technology and nature by illuminating existential questions around these
subjects, often with a surrealistic approach. I also explore principles of aerodynamics that reveal
the science and poetry behind the mechanics of flight. My practice includes film, mixed media,
sculpture and video art.
