RESONANCE: VORTEX to DIVERSITY

Toyo Aluminium

Envisioning a world where diversity fosters new values

This large-scale installation is coated with CHROMASHINE®, a metallic pigment developed by Toyo Aluminium, that is coloured by “light interference” and that changes colour depending on the angle from which it is viewed. A vortex-shaped object covered with CHROMASHINE® was created, revealing countless colors in a single pigment. It presents itself as a colourful embodiment of a world full of diversity, where new values are nurtured as a result of different aspects meeting and resonating. In nature, a vortex is formed when two qualitatively different states come into contact: liquid and gas, fast and slow, warm and cold, thick and thin, heavy and light. In other words, a vortex can be described as a shape that visualizes the process where different things meet and fuse together to create something completely different. By combining a vortex with CHROMASHINE® that shows various colours depending on the viewing angle, a representation of the world is drawn where new values are created out of diversity.
