In Between Light and Shadow

2017

 

Comprised of over 1100 paper-thin glass shards, this installation speaks to the importance of shedding light on things that are otherwise invisible. This work is a physical representation of what is in between one's darkness and the light at the end of the tunnel and is intended to create awareness around mental illness and suicide prevention.

 

In Between Light and Shadow was created and installed during Takizawa's glass residency at STARworks Glass Lab in Star, NC in 2017. The fragile glass shards reacted to the movement of the audience and the slightest shift in the air within the facility.
