overflow, 2022

︎ interactive installation 

‘overflow’ (2022) is a heart-shaped balloon art installation, covered in layers of resin with nails scattered across its delicate surface. The piece invites viewers to use flashlights to explore its details. While the balloon itself is transparent, the light reveals bold, contrasting shadows that enhance its presence and make the fragile form more noticeable.

During the exhibition, viewers are encouraged to interact with ‘overflow’ (2022) using flashlights, a key element that transforms their experience. When illuminated, the balloon’s transparency is heightened, casting dramatic shadows that expand its visual impact. These shadows emphasize the intricate balance between fragility and strength, symbolizing the unseen emotions that profoundly affect our external reality.

The play of light and shadow is central to the work, creating reflections that magnify the balloon’s form and its emotional resonance. This effect mirrors how our internal emotions, often hidden, can cast a significant influence on how we engage with the world around us.

‘overflow’ (2022) explores the tension between emotional vulnerability and the resilience we cultivate in response to life’s challenges. The work invites contemplation of the delicate yet powerful nature of our emotions, highlighting the interplay between our inner experiences and the external realities they shape. It’s a call to acknowledge and appreciate the profound connection between what we feel and how we perceive the world.
