Komorebi 木漏れ日

Komorebi 木漏れ日

(pronounced kō-mō-leh-bē)

Komorebi means “sunlight leaking through trees”—a Japanese word that captures the delicate beauty of light filtering through leaves, casting shifting shadows across the forest floor.

This installation was created in response to Dr. Rob Vincs’ album launch at Magma Galleries on August 30, 2024. Like Rob’s improvisational performance, Komorebi was a one-night-only experience—an ephemeral work that could never be repeated.

Dr. Vincs’s music evokes deep, emotive, and transcendent states inspired by nature, chaos, and machine-based generative processes. The installation echoed these themes, translating sound into spatial rhythm and visual poetry.

More than just a visual piece, Komorebi became a reflection on impermanence—a reminder that beauty, like sunlight through trees, often appears only for a moment. The things we love, the people around us, the art we experience, they all pass. And in that passing, they become even more precious.
