Acrylic, 2022
Keh Hwee Peng Irisse & Tham Chee Yoong
Hua Yi Secondary School
“Moving Bloom” is an attempt to explore space within seemingly hard, translucent acrylic into an animated play of motion, lights and reflection unfolding while it blooms. The interplay of space created within the shapes made it possible for hard forms to be transformed into malleable forms of the petals then strung together, transforming the surface of seemingly cold, hard and static plastic. Married to the moving mechanical parts of interconnected gears, these illuminated shapes makes use of form in motion to radiate outwards in space despite its small stature.
