Alexander Groves & Azusa Murakami
Beauty exists only in the moment of its vanishing
浮世
Helium-filled soap bubbles drift upward, their surfaces transformed into luminous screens projecting fleeting images. Each bubble is a tiny world — born, rising, then gone.
The word ukiyo — floating world — once described the ephemeral pleasures of life. A.A.Murakami return to this idea with foam, plasma, and light, crafting experiences that refuse to be held.
"We are interested in the poetic potential of science and the transience of experience"
— A.A.Murakami
Soap film as screen, helium as breath, light as paint. The most fragile medium imaginable.
Suspended water refracts space itself. Architecture dissolves. Boundaries evaporate.
The fourth state of matter — neither solid, liquid, nor gas. Light born from ionized air.
Interaction
Click or touch the canvas above to release clusters of iridescent bubbles. Watch them rise, shimmer, and vanish — each one unrepeatable.
Nothing lasts.
Everything is beautiful.
