The Gaze

By day, like falling rain; by night, like gleaming needles.

I drew it by imagining a knife-like decoration that combines observation and temptation, reason and instincts.

“White rain falling without sound” can be seen in a bright environment. What can be seen without lighting is a myriad of “needle-like glances” from the outside world.

Under night lights, the color begins to reflect a lot, like a costume studded with sequins. I was so puzzled by the temperature difference between the modest color impression during the day and the sparkle.

Under daytime light, it looks like just a trace, but at night, phosphorescence lines emerge sharply, and what is invisible to the eye becomes a switch that looks back at us.

● This work uses phosphorescent pigments.

If there is sufficient irradiation (indoor or natural light) for 15 minutes, part of the light (white falling line) will be emitted for about 8 hours.

In an unlit environment, the light gradually starts to glow in the evening.

The light is strongest at night, and the light softens in the morning.
