A circular installation that shifts with the light, the time of day, and your perspective.

What first appears to be a fixed object transforms into a reflective plane,

a silent passage between nature and perception.

What you see depends on where you stand.

And even that keeps changing.

Where Light Waits invites the viewer to slow down. At first glance, it appears as a clear, defined object — quietly suspended between the trees. But as you shift your position, the work shifts with you. Reflections bend, dissolve, return.

The piece transforms under the influence of light, time, and perspective. It embodies a core idea in Pascal Smelik’s work:

There is no fixed reality, only the moment in which you observe.

During the day, it mirrors the world around it. In darkness, it turns inward; the light seems to come from within, like a breathing eye. What you see is never definitive. Everything is temporary. Everything is perception.

Where Light Waits floats somewhere between object and portal. Its circular shape, reflective surface, and soft argon glow create a tension between inner and outer worlds, between nature and technology, observer and observed.

The work invites stillness, and perhaps, the chance to encounter yourself in what you see.
