'When the tiger gets married' is a Korean expression for unsettled weather, when it rains and shines simultaneously.

Like the rainbow that appears between sunlight and raindrops, surprises often emerge from conflicting elements.

Prism explores the poetic potential of industrial objects such as LCD screens, one of the most ubiquitous pieces of kit in today’s techno-driven world.

Each element of the object is a small solar-powered LCD panel. In the presence of light, a brief electrical impulse is transmitted to the crystals, forcing them to twist

and change their optical properties.

Each section refracts light as it passes through, a responsive quality that offers viewers an ever-changing colour spectrum.
