Dance a little. Move a little. Let's jingle., 2023
Plywood, colored acetate, aluminum wire, silver jingle bells
This piece relates to themes of touch, time, and nostalgia. This is an abstraction of a dancer's torso in motion - it's interactive, collaborative, and intimate. I encourage the viewer to rock the base and watch the mobile dance and jingle bells sing. I've been a dancer since young, and this piece captures the joy and play of performance. I used raw materials mimicking childhood toys, creating a colorful kinetic and auditory piece. It looks especially nice in the sun, capturing its movement.
