Resonance of Renewal

Resonance of Renewal is a 2x2-meter interactive light sculpture at the Jules Bordet Institute for Oncology in Brussels.

Research indicates that over 250.000 cancer-related studies are published worldwide each year. On average, this means a new scientific study is released every two minutes. To reflect this frequency of discovery, a small light ignites at the beginning of the sculpture every two minutes, traveling through its entire form and gradually illuminating it in 24 hours.

The form of this double Möbius ring connects to the endless cycle of life, transformation, and the ongoing process of healing and adaptation. Hopefully the sculpture might offer a moment of calm and reflection, resonating with those who walk under it, as a subtle message of hope amidst the challenges of oncology treatment.

This permanent public artwork was created during a residency hosted by Gluon, with the support of the S+T+ARTS program of the European Union, in collaboration with the Jules Bordet Institute, imec, Innoviris, the National Lottery, VIB, RITCS, and Sirris.
