The "disco ball" series emerged as a response to the isolation of the pandemic. Living, teaching, and working in the same small space, I found solace in "disco hour," when sunlight would interact with the many disco balls hanging in my windows.

​

This work explores the dynamic interplay of color, light, and texture as the reflected light from the mirrored surfaces transforms a stagnant space. Through ever-changing patterns, the disco ball's reflections infuse the environment with energy, compensating for the social and physical spaces the pandemic denied us.

The rigid, geometric shape of the disco ball mirrors the natural grid patterns it creates, yet its reflected light remains fluid and unpredictable. Depending on time, location, and movement, the colors shift wildly—much like the world around us. In this way, the disco ball serves as both a symbol of structure and transformation, reminding us of the constant flux of our environments.
