"light as a moving source of energy that animates human drama, sets inmotion cultural life, and connects our bodies to the cosmic play of energy"-Marcin K. This model reimagines Caravaggio's Saint Matthew and Angel. The narrative of Saint Matthew finding a new path in religion to follow in the footsteps of God, is represented by the formation of a new life or a forming organism in this model. The envelope creates a soft and delicate structure that holds the chrome spheres (of the prior emotive object assignment) to represent a system of forming flesh, walls, and parts of a new organism. This model uses emotive light and materials to create a representation of the narrative, of new self discovery and life.
