“When the wire sculptures are illuminated, the interplay of light and shadow creates a new, light-filled form. The sculptures start to resemble drawings, with their shadows forming a new, distinct body. As the light source moves, the shadow of the wire sculptures moves as well—like a drawing that comes to life through time.” – Susa Jörgen
