Peace
Question: In what ways can art create a space for meditative peace by reconnecting us with the fundamental, cyclical beauty of the natural world?
The title of the series represents Wenger's intention: to create emotions of peace through elegant and delicate composition. Peace is a project that investigates the transformative power of colour as found in the sky. Initiated in 2018 from a deep study of colour theory and a pivotal moment of observing a rainbow in Paris, the work seeks to isolate the awe-inspiring gradients of dawn, dusk and changing weather from the distractions of form and texture.
At the heart of the project are edited photographs printed on sleek, rigid aluminium Dibond and cut into basic geometric shapes (circles, squares and triangles). A central interactive element is a custom hanging system that allows each piece to be rotated 360° on the wall. This physical interaction enables viewers to reorient the gradient and question how direction influences their emotional and perceptual response to colour. The large scale of the pieces (ranging from 50 cm to 100 cm) and their shiny, precise finish are designed to create an immersive, mesmerising effect.
Peace expands into a kinetic installation titled Rotating Skies. This configuration features four circular panels, each connected to a motor that rotates at a specific natural rhythm: one hour, one day, one month and one year. This silent, moving installation becomes a contemporary sundial, linking the captured images of skylight directly to the cosmic cycles that produce them.
Ultimately, Peace offers a meditative pause. It invites us to reconnect with the effortless beauty of the natural world, offering a moment of calm and wonder that fosters a deeper appreciation of our surroundings.
