LUMEN
– ABOUT THE WORK
Inspired by light in our universe and using a star as a our starting point, this work explores factors which give birth to light as well as the different astrophysical environments which it encounters along its journey through space. From a range of research publications and images provided by The School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University, we sought to abstract and capture these ideas through movement and sound. Lumen featured as a part of the TEST | CAPTURE Tour in 2018 and 2019.
