NARCISSUS
SCULPTURE 2024
Do you know the myth of Narcissus? We bet you do!
For SHUM, this project was a real experiment, as it was our first time working with sculpture. We created Narcissus for the Night of Light festival program, capturing the moment of his metamorphosis. His upper body is still human, while his lower half is already merging with the earth. LED strips simulate the process of draining energy from his torso, animating the transformation.
Special thanks to our friend, actor Anar, for gifting us his face — it’s a match!
