About the Series
The Water Series is a body of interactive kinetic sculptures that respond to the presence of viewers while being shaped by live environmental data. At first glance, each piece appears to ripple like the surface of a still pool—gently moving in response to nearby motion. But beneath that surface lies something deeper.
These works are powered by a custom-engineered medium developed by BREAKFAST called Wind Tiles—a system of gold-mirrored stainless steel elements that move using a combination of silent motors and gravity, creating the illusion of fluid, natural motion. Their behavior is connected to real-time drought data, sourced from global monitoring systems.
As drought conditions worsen, the responsiveness of the pieces fades. The interaction slows. The surface grows still. What begins as a sensory experience becomes a subtle but powerful reflection on absence, scarcity, and environmental collapse.
In Water, interaction and data merge into a tactile language—one that turns invisible climate patterns into movement we can see, feel, and influence. It’s an artwork you don’t just observe—you interrupt it, change it, and watch it fall quiet.
