The Fallen Pendants are designed to be sculptures of hope. The main concept of interaction came from the Japanese Tanabata festival, which is also known as the star festival. Japanese people generally celebrate by writing wishes, sometimes in the form of poetry, on small pieces of paper they then hang on bamboo. In this sense, I want to bring stars down to the garden. The look-alike floor lamps conceptualize the fallen stars in a way that most people can relate to. Heavy-looking pendants, bent down touching the ground, create a new feeling of spirituality in the space. The locations of the star sculptures were set to reflect certain constellations, making the space referential of astrology and the zodiac. The fairytale-like, falling star sculptures give a sense of wonder to the viewer. Visitors will be writing wishes on small pieces of white paper and tying them to the stars’ structure–in a sense “wishing upon the stars.” As time passes and more wishes are added, I hope to see the sculpture grow into a monument of hope created by its visitors.
