Third Place - $1000

Spring 2022

This year's theme, Reignited, challenged students to create a lighting installation that served as a retrospective using three themes from past competitions. Since 2000, the IESNYC has invited students from New York City Art and Design schools to participate in a city wide design competition. The competition empowers students to explore light as an art form, demonstrate light as a stimulus, and prove light as a valuable medium.

As a student, there is always something or the other going on, be it workload, or any extracurricular events. Stress, anxiety, and chaos are what I feel sometimes when I think about the number of things that are on my mind every day. I created this lighting effect to evoke uneasiness and restlessness among the viewers for them to get a sense of what I feel when I am drenched with tasks on my to-do list. I wanted the viewers to relate to these emotions and just know that everyone goes through these emotions at least once a day.  It also creates suspense, to involve and keep the viewer on the edge of their seat till the end. I created a tunnel-like vessel to show depth, colored shadows of the shards, and three-dimensionality of the fixture.

My design philosophy

I design for clarity and emotion—where every detail has a reason, and nothing feels forced. It’s about creating work that’s honest, intuitive, and quietly bold.

Let’s work together
