Water, Mirror, Echo

Flow like water, reflect like a mirror, respond like an echo is a Taoist philosophy in which nothing in you stays rigid or fixed, allowing you to move through a world in which nothing is rigid or fixed.

I wanted to explore this idea by creating a work in which every element was in flux and movement - the drift of the mobile, the reflections of the water, and the intangible nature of light itself. The work is also accompanied by a soundscape by sound artist Matt Leadingham.

Water, Mirror, Echo was commissioned for the 2026 Lightwave Festival.
