The sphere is covered in intricate, swirling patterns that evoke the texture of pulled sugar or candy. These patterns are created using a combination of 3D printing and hand-crafting techniques. As light passes through the sphere, the patterns appear to shift and move, giving the impression of a dreamlike, ethereal quality.
A digital display screen (approximately 2 feet in diameter) is embedded within the base of the sculpture, displaying a continuous loop of surreal, candy-themed animations. These animations feature fantastical creatures, melting candy landscapes, and abstract patterns that seem to dance across the screen.
Viewers can influence the piece by using a nearby, gesture-sensitive interface. By waving their hands or making specific movements, they can alter the color palette, lighting patterns, and even the animations on the digital display. This interactive element encourages playfulness and experimentation, blurring the line between artist, viewer, and artwork.
"Silver Dreams Candy" is an immersive, interactive installation that invites viewers to enter a fantastical world of wonder and enchantment. By combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, I aim to create a piece that is both nostalgic and futuristic, playful and thought-provoking. As viewers engage with the piece, I hope they will experience a sense of childlike wonder and awe, and perhaps even discover a little bit of their own "silver dream" hidden within.
