The Celestial Cycle 装置丨加拿大丨Studio Kelly Nunes

Kelly Nunes设计的“天体之环”，在过去的十年中受Age of Union的创始人Dax Dasilva的委托，完成了同一系列的5个艺术作品。其中包括地球屋，太阳屋，月亮屋，冰川洞窟和黑洞屋。 Nunes的艺术作品的主旨是关爱，强调沉浸于自然中的疗愈影响，解决不断发展的关于治疗和身心健康的问题。为了应对当代人和户外自然之间的阻隔，Nunes的系列作品促进了与自然疗愈品质之间的重新联结。总体来说，这些艺术作品孕育了一种对自然的敬畏之心，目的旨在促进气候行动。在每一件作品之间穿梭，参观者会向往与Age of Union的使命密不可分的环保行动。

Kelly Nunes presents The Celestial Cycle, a series of 5 artworks commissioned by Age of Union founder Dax Dasilva over the course of 10 years, now including Earth Room, Sun Room, Moon Room, Glacier Cave, and Black Hole Room.Nunes’ artworks tap themes of care, emphasizing the therapeutic impact of nature immersion and addressing the evolving discourse on healing and well-being. In response to the contemporary disconnection from the outdoors, Nunes’ series nurtures reconnection with nature’s healing qualities.Collectively, the works foster a sense of awe and reverence, aiming to catalyze climate action. Moving between each work, visitors are propelled to envision pro-environmental and conservation activity integral to Age of Union’s mission.

“每一个空间都打破了传统的边界，吸引我们去重新评估我们与周围环境的关系，释放自然的内在价值，吸引大家对保护行动的集体呼吁。”

“each space transcends conventional boundaries, compelling us to reassess our relationship with the environment, unlocking the intrinsic value of nature and igniting a collective call to conservation action.”

——Dasilva articulates

The series:

冰川洞窟

Glacier Cave

使用后的塑料、响应式灯光和背景音乐的配合，渲染出冰川开裂和融化的感觉。冰雪结构古老而神秘的特质与全球变暖的象征交织在一起。

Sensations of being within a cracking and thawing glacier are rendered with a play of post-consumer plastics, responsive lights and soundtrack. Ice structures’ ancient and mystical qualities intertwine with their symbol of global warming.

疗愈&环境保护

Healing & Conservation

该系列的某些柱子体现了观众在地球环境中的位置（太阳室、地球室、冰川洞穴），而其他柱子则提醒人们在比我们自己更广阔的结构中进行反思和谦逊的重要性（月亮室、黑洞室）。Nunes的系列作品通过其构成材料（如消费后的塑料、使用后的废纸和植被）引发了关于保护和退化的讨论。完全沉浸在每件作品中，促使参观者反思大自然不断变化的保护需求，赋予其最直接的力量：治愈的力量。Nunes最终促使人们反思，在大都市的普通环境中，如何获取大自然的治愈力量，而在这些环境中，日常的获取可能具有挑战性。

While certain pillars of the series embody and situate audiences in earthly contexts (Sun Room, Earth Room, Glacier Cave), others stand as reminders of the importance of reflection and humility in the fabric of something much more vast than ourselves (Moon Room, Black Hole Room).Nunes’ series invites a discourse around conservation and degradation through the materials it is composed of—like post-consumer plastic, reconstituted waste paper, and real vegetation. Full immersion in each piece spurs visitors to reflect on nature’s evolving need for conservation by bestowing its most present force: The power to heal. Nunes ultimately prompts reflection on accessing that healing power of nature in common metropolitan contexts where routine access may be challenging.
