Ripple Effect is the first collaborative art installation, together with Natalia Bakaeva. We created a unique three-dimensional installation for the Pulp Art Party 2019, as part of Design TO Festival. The project has been featured on the official website of University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture.
The art installation is a composition of re-purposed cardboard tubes that create a formation of extruded circles. Each element exists in symbiosis with its surroundings, producing “Ripple Effect”. A structure of 5’x 5’ in size is suspended from space within the opening of the existing skylight, creating a gathering place under it, for viewers to look up and explore generated “landscape”.
This installation is a representation of the module that could be endlessly repeated and serves as a multiplier, another meaning of “Ripple Effect”. Floodlights, likely in a red or purple tone, illuminating it from above will aid the visual impact of the piece.

Engaging in conversation can make people warm. With TuBencHut, a bench is provided to the skaters and the public on the icy Assiniboine. TuBencHut is to initiate the exchange of information by its wall of embedded light and audio speakers, projecting the outline of the rivers and the ambient sound of summer with birds singing and the oral history of the river trail. The slightly concave shape in plan facilitates people to gather and chat. The lightweight heavy-duty paper tube allows TuBencHut to be moved manually, becoming “talkable” street furniture for the river trail.
