JELLyFISH DANCING

Commissioned Works

Jellyfish Dancing is an illuminated site-specific installation commissioned for a private sea-view residence in Porto Cervo, Sardinia.

Two abstract jellyfish appear to drift across the wall. Their bodies were created from two decommissioned road signs, individually reshaped and worked by hand. Warm backlighting surrounds them with halos of light, while long metal lines curve, overlap and extend through the space like floating tentacles.

Constructed from reclaimed road signs, discarded aluminium and found objects, the work transforms industrial materials into a fluid sculptural drawing. Light is not used simply to illuminate the installation: it becomes part of its form, creating depth, shadows and a sense of continuous movement.

Designed specifically in relation to the architecture and the nearby sea, Jellyfish Dancing occupies the wall as both sculpture and luminous presence.

FROM WORKSHOP TO WALL​​​​​​​
The installation was developed over more than two months, beginning in Scoobafish’s Olbia workshop and continuing directly inside the residence.
Every component was selected, adapted and assembled by hand before the final composition was drawn and installed across the wall.

COMMISSION A SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION
Jellyfish Dancing was conceived in direct response to the architecture, light and coastal setting of a private residence.
New commissions are developed through dialogue with private clients, architects and interior designers. Each project is created specifically for its location and may combine reclaimed materials, sculpture, lighting and architectural elements.
Scale, materials, technical requirements, installation, timing and budget are defined individually for every project.
