When I
saw this impressive installation (in Hilton Gdansk) the first thoughts that
jumped into my mind were: "this is a waterfall, except there is no water".
Eventually I have realized that it is made of glass and that the glass takes
the shape of flowers. It is huge in size yet very delicate. The work
is hanging from the ceiling into the main space of the hotel so one can view it
from the lobby and from the glass elevator traveling next to it.
The artist, Edyta Baranska, calls the work "Sea Flowers” - light
installation. Here's some information from her website:
"This
chandelier spans over seven meters in length and fifteen in height. It consists
of 22000 handmade glass petals woven onto a nine kilometer long webbing of fiber
optics. At night the installation floods the lobby below with a wave of light
that oscillates in the RGB color spectrum."
"More than 6000 glass petals tinkle above the reception desk. The
petals are suspended on fiber optics, but additional power led lamps are
employed in order to achieve sufficient light on the counter top."
