An embodiment of grace, heritage, and ambition, where engineered precision meets artistic expression in a perpetual cycle of ascent and return.
At the heart of this installation is movement—not just mechanical, but symbolic. The peacock, sculpted in pristine white, traverses a façade of carved doors and windows, bridging heritage with contemporary dynamism. Light amplifies its presence, tracing its path with precision, turning each cycle into an orchestrated spectacle of motion and meaning.
Each hour, the bird unfurls its wings, ascending across the spatial plane in a rhythmic dance. The choreography is deliberate, integrating kinetic mechanisms with sculptural elegance. The repetition is not mere automation but a meditation—a combination of structure and spirit, where programmed motion breathes life into stillness.
The warm tactility of wood contrasts with the ethereal whiteness of the peacock, reinforcing a dialogue between earthbound craftsmanship and celestial lightness. The installation acts as an evolving entity, activated by time, space, and the presence of the viewer.
