A permanent public light sculpture commissioned by KORO for Drammen Tinghus.
It consists of a series of smart glass placed in three concentric circles which are suspended from a metal circle hanging from the ceiling.
Smart glass is a type of glass that can change between two states of being opaque or transparent.
Inside the circle of glass panels there is a single light source. The light source is constant while the states of the smart glass panels change, creating a dynamic volume of light, shadows and reflection.
The ambient light greatly affects how the work is perceived. In daytime, during office hours, the sculpture appears subtle and quiet, but as the darkness comes it becomes the focal point of the space.

Official opening November 2023.
