Particle

In “Particle,” objects are covered with silicon carbide powder, a material which has properties of both diamond and silicon, and emerge as radiant sparkles of light in darkened spaces. This material treatment is also used after freezing a moment of the performance work "VESSEL," for which the artist converts the physique of choreographed dancers into 3D digital information (Voxel data) to materialise them into sculptures. The work emphasises the transitions from motion to static states, or from organic to inorganic substances, and beyond materiality to particles of light.
