Tides are shaped by the gravitational pull of the moon, and ocean waves become a visible link between the Earth and its lunar companion—an extension of their shared energy and material cycles. Ocean Wave is a kinetic light installation that redefines the boundaries of real-time interaction. The work invites viewers to experience the mystery and power of nature through the flowing movement of light and shadow. As waves of light spread and shimmer across the walls, the artist hopes each viewer will form a new connection with their surroundings, experiencing the rhythm of nature from another dimension.

The core of the installation lies in its precise technological and algorithmic system. It includes fifty custom-designed carbon fiber rails, real-time camera recognition, and dual-antenna wireless control modules. By combining visual recognition with a self-developed algorithm, the system captures the real-time fluctuations at the edge of ocean waves and maps them onto the movement paths of motorized rails. The wireless transmission simultaneously controls the motion of the rails and the brightness and color of the embedded LED lights. The gradual changes in light, which shift according to spatial coordinates, create a layered field of continuous illumination.

Ocean Wave establishes an integrated system of movement that connects the Earth and the moon, and links light to perception. Through long-exposure photography of ten to fifteen seconds, the viewer captures the subtle traces of wave motion. This process transforms the exchange of energy between celestial and geological forces into a language of light, allowing the relationships among gravity, motion, and time to be experienced in a tangible and sensory way.
