Large sculptural piece that reconfigures car headlights into a ball and chain. Using parts from a vehicle of transport, to create a piece that immobilizes:
24 car headlights are configured into a sphere. LED lighting is integrated into the headlights and the power cable interwoven with a thick chain that connects it to the power outlet.
This sculptural piece is a commentary on energy use. The amount that we can do is limited by the amount of energy we can spend. In effect, energy is our ball and chain.
