Waves In A Shell is a seashell-inspired wooden structure adorned with undulating light tubes that capture the natural beauty of rolling ocean waves. By engaging with brass capacitive touch sensors on a small scale model, viewers can influence the lighting patterns in real time, providing a mesmerizing interactive experience.

This frame, comprised of precision CNC machine-cut components, allows for convenient flat packing for transportation purposes. Notably, this installation has been showcased at numerous festival venues across British Columbia.
