Ephemeral Glitter

2023  ·  Kinetic Sculpture

Polycarbonate sheets, SS rivets and rings, digitally designed transparent stickers.

3D interference patterns on a cube jitterbug transformer. As the cube expands and contracts, its layered grids slide through one another and the overlap scatters into countless shifting points of light — a moiré that flickers and glints rather than settling, here and gone with every turn. The result reads less as a fixed pattern than as a glitter: ephemeral, restless, never quite the same twice.
