The piece activates only in the presence of the observer. One layer consists of algorithmically generated, real-time animations; the second reacts to body movement, captured by dual Kinect cameras. But the merging of these layers happens not through code—it occurs within the viewer’s cognition. The mirror acts as a mediator, but the image—the meaning—arises in the perceiver.

Nexus explores the boundaries of perception: how we see, what we believe to be real, and how that reality shifts through light, symmetry, and cognitive interpretation. It is a living system, incomplete without presence. Light becomes not just a material, but a language—a gateway to deeper sensory experience.
