Turtel
Turtle Comes, Luck Comes is an interactive light installation shaped as a sea turtle. The sculpture is made of epoxy resin and metal and measures 720 by 1000 by 400 centimeters. The patterns of the shell are drawn from wave forms, a reference to fishermen returning safely from the sea. A crystal ball is placed beside the turtle. When hands are held near the crystal ball, sensors are triggered and the light in the body and the eyes of the turtle changes. The work reflects a wish for good luck, blessing and calm.
