By repurposing these items, he metamorphoses a practical tool into an enchanting, immersive installation that envelops onlookers with shifting light and reflections, ingeniously modifying the perception of the space itself.<\/p>\n<p>HALOS was featured at the Bright Festival in Florence, an event brimming with immersive art exhibitions, light and sound experiences, audiovisual performances, and mixed media projects.
