The reflective and multi-faceted, yet curved surface of the piece collects and warps its surrounding environment into the structure of the human head, symbolising our strained relationship with the natural world and our struggle to truly find our place within it, whilst demonstrating that we are still of the Earth, no matter our disconnect.
The kinetic interaction between the viewer and Notos provides a plane of engagement that incorporates both the art piece and one of nature‘s most intangible forces. The element of play, manifested in the manipulation of the piece to interact with the wind, encourages the participant to tune into nature and their surroundings.
It creates a conscious imprint of the often unconscious effect we have on nature, and vice-versa; a reminder that we are both on the Earth, and of the Earth. Notos will stand as a physical reminder of the power, beauty, and importance of all natural elements, but in particular, it will be an ode to the dynamism of the wind.
