touch me not
“touch me not” is an interactive kinetic sound sculpture. It is a reflective sphere with a constant, organic movement. In its solitude, the sculpture peacefully hovers in the air while the sound of its gentle, breath-like movements creates a unique atmosphere.
As visitors approach and intrude into its personal space, the sculpture shrinks, closes itself, and remains still. The work reflects the interaction with our environment, where observation changes the observed object. What one sees is always a projection of their own interpretation, a reflection of their own self.
