Light Weave is a collaborative installation that merges sculpture and interactive projection to explore the entanglement between body, mind, labor, and technology. The piece challenges the tension between entrapment and liberation, exploring how we are shaped by our struggles and what we become in the process. When the body blurs into light, when boundaries dissolve—what’s left behind, and what begins to grow?

At its core is a 7-foot hoop woven by Dar San Agustin using yarn and repurposed plastic. One side holds a visible pattern—made when her hands were steady, her mind focused. The other side trails off, less structured—woven late into the night when her body was tired but she kept going. This unevenness isn’t a flaw; it tells a story. Like the NASA study on spiders spun under the influence of caffeine or LSD, the web shifts depending on state of mind. Except here, the influence is something quieter: human exhaustion, persistence, and the need to finish what you’ve started.

Inspired by spider webs, Picasso’s fragmented forms, and the immersive installations of Chiharu Shiota, it merges digital and physical threads into a shifting sensory net. 

Projection by Zelia ZZ Tan animates the weave with light and motion. As viewers pass by, their presence is captured and transformed into a kaleidoscopic abstraction—projected onto the hoop and beyond it, extending onto the walls and surrounding space. The light doesn’t stay within the frame; it spills out, just like memory, emotion, or the body’s energy when it can’t be contained. Viewers become part of the structure, yet the work also grows beyond them.

The narrative of Light Weave follows a psychological journey—of fragmentation and reassembly, of soft resistance.
