Commissioned as part of SPECTRA 2026’s Micro-Commission Programme. At its core, Follow Your Heart is about the subtle but powerful pull of wonder. The heart forms – symbols of feeling, intuition, and connection – are illuminated in bold, shifting colours that create a living landscape of light. Viewers are encouraged to pause, observe, and discover meaning in the changing patterns.
Follow Your Heart is an immersive lighting installation composed of sculptural heart forms. These hearts glow, shift, and evolve through a variety of programmed patterns all designed to spark intrigue from the moment visitors encounter the piece.
The installation is accompanied by an original marimba composition, adding warmth, resonance, and emotional depth. The gentle, rhythmic quality of the marimba mirrors the patterns in the lighting, creating a unified sensory experience that invites reflective curiosity.
The piece embodies Be Curious by offering layers of detail: calming patterns reveal intricate transitions, and colours come together in ways that reward careful attention. Curiosity becomes an act of noticing, and noticing becomes its own quiet reward.
