By painting Urushi, a type of lacquer, any rough texture of the wood metamorphoses into an abstract and highly reflective black smooth surface. This installation uses a spherical object coated with Urushi as a reflective surface for the light.

The light source moves like a pendulum and creates images of a distorted space with time.

The reflection is dynamic, a rectangle at one point, it changes into a spherical shape like that of the moon in the next moment.
