Quantum Entanglement
A web of connection and wonder.
STATEMENT
Quantum Entanglement is an installation that explores the relationship between geometry, nature, and perception. Staring from a simple square divided into triangles, the design was developed through layering, rotation, and transformation into complex three dimensional forms. The result is a web like structure of steel tubes and wires that appears intricate yet originates from a simple system. Light filtering through the wires creates moments reminiscent of spider webs in the morning, evoking both delicacy and strength. Installed along existing railings and guardrails, the piece invites viewers to experience movement, perspective shift, and the illusion of two dimensional patterns unfolding into three dimensional space. The project aims to capture a fleeting sense of wonder, transforming an everyday circulation space into poetic encounter with structure and light.

DESIGN DESCRIPTION
Creating from a simple 2D shape to a 3D, can generate something that looks complicated because there aren’t any surfaces. The final design givens 2D effects even though it is 3D. Also, from the top, it seems to focus on the center.

OVERALL DESIGN
The Quantum Entanglement installation was designed to let users feel the flow of nature as they move up the stairs. Inspired by the Matsunoyama Museum of Natural Science, the concept began with a simple square that was divided into triangles, then scaled and rotated to respond to the site and human pathways. The final form resembles a spider-web structure appearing complex even though it is built from a very simple idea. This contrast shows how simplicity can create complexity, and vice versa.

Quantum Entanglement is a staircase installation inspired by natural flow and spider webs. The form began as a simple square divided into triangles, then scaled an rotated to respond to movement and space. Although built form basic geometry, the layered steel wire structure creates a complex, web-like illusion. Using thin steel lines and a dark finish, the piece blends with the existing railings and reveals itself through light, especially in the morning when it glimmers like dew. The goal is to evoke curiosity, clam, and a connection to nature as people move through the space.
