Look! Movement, flash, and reflection! Step closer, take a look, and immerse yourself in this sensory experience that will captivate you with its hypnotic dynamics. Glowing spheres move in circular motions on water, creating an endless dance of light bodies. They reflect our inner world, constantly in motion, sparkling and transforming. They invite you to focus your attention, to unite with the movement of light impulses and reflections, flowing from chaos to order. Let your thoughts wander freely as you gaze at this installation, offering a meditative experience of peace, grounding, and exploration, satisfying our deepest desires for beauty, love, and aimless wandering.

Together with the birds, they herald the arrival of spring and the traditional Slovenian holiday of St. Gregory’s Day, a celebration when the birds mate.
