Reflections
A Personal Experience

Introduction

Four pillars of light sit side-by-side inviting you to come forward with their gentle glowing light. As you observe them, they observe you, and reflect back the essence of what they see through color and motion.

Summary

Reflections is a 2024 LUMEN Installation for the City of Waterloo that allowed visitors to create their own personalized experience on their own time.

Four pillars or light were placed side-by-side, each with their own color and specific sensitivity, which would react to the motion that occurred directly in front of them.

When visitors walked in front of a pillar they could see their poses, movements, or even stillness reflected in the gentle flowing visualizations that appeared in real time. Visitors would find their own intuitive way to move with the pillars creating a unique visualization and a little personal moment within this big festival of light.
