PROVERB by Jan Flook Lighting

Proverb: A Poetic Dance of Light and Shadow

Located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, *Proverb* is a captivating installation designed for a graphic design studio. This thoughtful piece combines artistic storytelling with minimalist design, transforming the studio’s space into an immersive experience.

Drawing Inspiration from a Timeless Proverb

The installation takes its narrative from the Chinese proverb, *“In the battle between water and stone, water always wins.”* This timeless wisdom is translated into a visual metaphor, where flowing LED waves interact with suspended stones to symbolize resilience and the power of persistence.

Creating Movement Through Light

Waves of bare LEDs weave fluidly around the stones, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. This dynamic effect gives the impression of water flowing gently over solid rock, continually shaping and reshaping its form. The shifting shadows add depth and dimension to the space, inviting viewers to pause and reflect.

A Balance of Minimalism and Meaning

While the design remains understated, every element is purposeful. The suspended stones anchor the installation, while the LED waves add a sense of movement and vitality. Together, they create a harmonious balance that echoes the proverb’s message.

Proverb: Art That Inspires and Transforms

*Proverb* is more than a lighting feature; it’s a meditation on nature’s quiet strength and perseverance. This installation brings a touch of poetic elegance to the graphic design studio, fostering a space where creativity and inspiration thrive.
