Dichroic Waves

Suspended Light Sculpture

Commissioned by: Science Museum Oklahoma
Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Year: 2022

Dichroic Waves is a suspended kinetic light sculpture installed within the atrium of Science Museum Oklahoma in Oklahoma City. Composed of layered dichroic acrylic elements suspended in flowing wave-like forms, the installation transforms continuously as visitors move through the space and changing light conditions shift across its surface.

The sculpture uses transparent materials, reflection, and color-shifting film to create an evolving visual experience that changes from different viewing angles throughout the museum. Light passing through the suspended forms produces shifting spectrums of color and reflection, generating the impression of motion and fluidity within the architectural space.

Designed specifically for the large-scale atrium environment, the installation creates a dynamic overhead presence visible from multiple floors and viewing perspectives throughout the museum. The work explores perception, movement, and the interaction between light, transparency, and architectural space.
