Our installation explores the intricate dynamics of human connection and our inherent bond with nature, drawing inspiration from the elemental forces of water and fire. By manipulating the distance between the light source and the projection surface, we transform the shape of light into representations of these primal elements. This interplay of light mirrors the warmth and closeness experienced during moments of unity around a campfire, where stories are shared and bonds are forged in the glow of the flames. Similarly, it reflects the adaptability and embrace of water, an element that shapes itself around us, signifying life's essence that flows within and all around us. Through this artistic endeavor, we aim to encapsulate the essence of adaptability and connection—how, like water, the people closest to us mold themselves to offer comfort and support, and how, akin to the communal warmth of a fire, we find solace and intimacy in their presence. This project is a tribute to those who adjust and evolve in resonance with us, highlighting the profound proximity we share with them and the natural world.
