Artist Statement

Untitled (Lantern) is a hanging lantern inspired by the visual language of carnivals and amusement parks. Referencing carousel structures, the work combines layered forms, repetition, and illumination to evoke movement, warmth, and celebration. The lantern consists of a double-layer structure: an inner hexagonal lantern and an outer rotating layer composed of hanging acrylic elements. A central dowel rod functions as an axis, allowing the outer layer to rotate fully around the glowing core.
