OSTIUM is an anatomical term for an opening in a vessel. It originates from the Latin word for door. When creating OSTIUM, I found inspiration in the interaction of space and experience. Particularly within the moment of entrance and exit. Because the work exists in a highly trafficked yet intimate room, it provides a unique opportunity. Therefore, as viewers enter and exit, the light envelops them in a moment of wonder.
Description: OSTIUM is a light sculpture by woman artist Grimanesa Amoros, located in the Bayer Building in Tribeca, New York, it has a light sequence within an intimate space. Due to this combination, the work creates intense contemplation in viewers.
