When the growing bubble hits the critical point of 25 nanometers film thickness, it breaks. 25 Nano compares the recycling and the reproduction of glass poetically with the constant recycling and rebirth of bubbles. The work uses several contrasts, such as light and shadow, solid and fragile, temporary and permanent, to express the relativity of things; the end is the beginning of new opportunity.

25 Nano is an artistic light instrument to represent ephemeral and permanence, birth, and death. Working with Spring Pool Glass Industrial CO., LTD, whose vision is building a systematic glass recycle loop for a sustainable future, 25 Nano chose the relatively fragile bubble as a medium in contrast with solid glass to embody the idea. In the instrument, light shimmers through life cycles of the bubble, projecting rainbow-like color and shadows to the environment, creating a dreamy atmosphere around the user.

Touch the metal sensor on top of the glass shade to turn on the light. The bubble starts to grow in rhythm, and the refractions of light change accordingly.
