Luminous Echoes, a conceptual light art installation, pays homage to the California Light and Space movement. Comprising 12 lighting units, each adorned with three fluorescent light battens, the artwork is reminiscent of the group's material and minimalist roots. It emits a radiant palette inspired by the phenomena of light in nature.

As the viewer experiences Luminous Echoes, they are enveloped in the interplay of light and colour, which evokes a shifting, almost ethereal quality as the viewer's perspective changes. The fluorescent tubes emit a soft, radiant glow, which contrasts and harmonises with the ambient lighting of the exhibition space, creating a dynamic exchange of light and shadow.

The installation's minimal design invites contemplation and allows viewers to explore their perception's boundaries. They become aware of their presence and the ever-changing relationships between colour, form, and space as they move around the work. This dialogue between the viewer and the art piece embodies the fundamental principles of the Light and Space movement, where the act of perception itself becomes an integral part of the artwork.

Luminous Echoes embodies the spirit of traditional light artists while offering a subjective dimension to the viewer's sensory engagement, underlining a fusion of historical and contemporary inspiration.
