Vappu Rossi: Rain
Reflecting the inner mind, light droplets form a figure.
A light box artwork in which thousands of hand-drilled holes form a figurative image. The artwork transforms depending on the viewing angle; the lights sparkle, and the image evolves. From the side, the box seems black but when light emerges from the holes, the small light spots suddenly organize themselves into a human figure – the lights are water droplets hitting on a person's face in the rain.
Depending on the viewer and their point of view, the face looks different. Some viewers see a tree, a mother with a child or a bearded man.
Master of Fine Arts, b. 1976, lives in Helsinki, Finland
