About Light Cycles
“Reflections on the human experience; sculpting with air, time & light”
Light Cycles are contemporary kinetic light sculptures; they are the result of a quest to express life’s experience; resulting in ever-changing compositions that lure the viewer into the changing nature of the now.
Each piece is a constantly changing constellation of translucent materials and light, created with repurposed materials that are available in each particular moment in time.
The Empress
Acrylic, glass, spotlight (2023)
The Empress is a kinetic art installation, made of 4 tumbling elements; responding to natural airflow, projecting a never repeating colour composition onto the wall.
“The Empress as an archetype represents a mother, a creator, and nurturer. This piece celebrates female vision & power.”
- Maria Vera
Confessions
Glass, steel, spotlight (2023)
Confessions is a kinetic light installation, made of two precisely composed tumbling elements; responding to natural airflow, never repeating itself.
“Light is hiding everywhere and it’s piercing through the darkness at moments you can’t predict”
- Maria Vera
Adrift
Acrylic, bracelet, spotlight (2023)
Adrift is a kinetic light installation, made of 3 tumbling elements; responding to natural airflow, projecting a never repeating colour composition onto the wall.
“The process of accepting the pain of grief and letting go of the past in itself is a spirited journey of finding new discoveries.”
- Maria Vera
The Dance
Glass, steel, spotlight (2023)
The Dance is a kinetic light sculpture, made of two juxtaposed tumbling glass lenses; responding to natural airflow, never repeating itself.
“Life is a web of relationships, but the love relationship is the most mysterious of them all”
- Maria Vera
Series of four wall pieces (2023)
Light Cycles can be custom designed and produced. From intimate sculptures to atrium filling constellations. Each sculpture responds to its context in a unique way. Contact Maria to discuss options.
Universe of Dreams
Acrylic, glass, spotlight (2023)
This site-specific piece is rather a system than an object. It consists of a kinetic mobile, its projected real-time animation and floating reflections into the space. In this way, Universe of Dreams can be custom set-up for large or intimate spaces, outdoor- or indoor settings and with bold or gentle effects.
“Universe of Dreams is a physical manifestation of the constantly changing landscape of thoughts and feelings. Nothing will ever be the same, and reality has endless perspectives to it.”
- Maria Vera
