A light sculpture inspired by golden ears of rice swaying in the wind. Equipped with sensors that respond to the presence of people, the artwork gently sways like rice plants stirred by a breeze. Light emitted from the tips casts droplet-like shadows reminiscent of rice grains, creating ever-changing layers of intricate shade and light. Winner of the Grand Prix at the inaugural Lexus Design Award.

風に揺れる黄金色の稲穂に着想を得た光のアートワーク。センサーが人の気配に反応し、風にそよぐ稲穂のように穏やかに揺れ動く。穂先から放たれる光は、籾を思わせる水玉状の影を落とし、動きに呼応して複雑に変化する陰影を空間に描き出す。第1回レクサスデザインアワードにてグランプリを受賞。
