CONCEPTEN04 represents a captivating fusion of sonic and visual elements, delving into the realm of optical illusions generated by imperceptible circles and viewer interaction. 

Rooted in the symbolic depth of the Japanese homophone "EN," embodying the notions of ‘Circle’ (円), ‘Connection’ (縁), and ‘Feast’ (宴) in Chinese characters, the installation transcends conventional boundaries to deliver an immersive sensory experience.

Symbolism of "EN"
Informed by the multifaceted meanings of "EN," the installation embodies themes of unity, continuity, and celebration. These symbolic underpinnings shape every facet of EN04, from its form and illumination to its interactive components, inviting participants to engage in a collective exploration of perception and engagement.

Exploration of Optical Illusions
EN04 invites viewers to engage with unseen circles, giving rise to mesmerizing optical illusions that challenge conventional understanding. Through dynamic soundscapes and immersive lighting, the installation prompts viewers to question their perception of space and form, fostering a sense of wonder and intrigue.

Sonic Light Sculpture
EN04 blurs the boundaries between auditory and visual experiences, seamlessly weaving together sound and light to create an enthralling sensory tapestry. By harnessing the power of sonic vibrations and optical phenomena, the installation transports viewers into a realm where reality and illusion intertwine.

EN04 stands as a testament to the transformative power of art to stimulate imagination, provoke inquiry, and foster connection. By drawing on the symbolic richness of "EN" and the enigmatic allure of optical illusions, the installation invites viewers on a journey of exploration and discovery, prompting them to reconsider their perception of reality in a new light.
