I find inspiration in everyday life, many things
inspire me in nature and the simplest things
attract me.I’ve always been attracted by the
soothing and hypnotic effect the sunlight
reflected on the moving surface of water makes
against vertical walls specially under bridges.

It is the same effect we see on the sides of the
boats when in a certain hour of the day the sun
rays bounce on the sea and dance on its hull.
Just as the waves in an ocean wash continuously
back and forth the sand on the beaches.

The challenge was to create a kinetic lamp that
reminds us of water without it. Creating the same
reflection effect can be made also by refraction.
I did several experiments using bottles, glass, acrylic
searching the right effect.
This effect can be created with projections but the
problem is to prevent the shadows of people. So it
is necessary to reduce the distance between source
and target to prevent this. I figured out a cylinder
was the shape we needed. The round surface would
repeat itself turning on its central axis and could be
placed along a wall, giving us continuity.
An irregular surface of a glass cylinder was created
just like the moving water surface.
