The Room of Light Preservation

BOOTH LAY OUT

Drawing upon Daoist philosophy and its resonance throughout East Asian thought, the works invite viewers into a contemplative space where light becomes both a spiritual metaphor and a living force.

Through her distinctive practice, Nina Sechko explores notions of balance, transformation, and the quiet preservation of what remains essential in an increasingly fragmented world.

Conceived as an immersive and meditative experience, The Room of Light Preservation proposes a sanctuary in which the invisible dimensions of existence are given form, offering a reflection on the enduring relationship between inner harmony, nature, and the rhythms of contemporary life.

  • " My compositions reflects the Daoist principle of wu wei, in which influence emerges through restraint and alignment rather than force."

    — Nina Sechko

  • "This state reflects a Daoist understanding in which essence continues through absence, allowing light to be perceived through subtle traces."

    — Nina Sechko

  • "The installation aligns material presence with energetic flow, offering a contemplative system in which light is preserved through balance and care."

    — Nina Sechko

At the center of the space stands a sculptural composition in which two figures support a box raised above their heads. Within this elevated enclosure rests a third figure, a girl holding a softly glowing pearl.

The figures are united through an act of mutual support, forming a balanced structure in which light is sustained through shared responsibility.

The supporting figures do not intervene directly; instead, they create a stable field in which the inner light can remain concentrated. The box functions as a vessel, a form defined by its capacity to hold and protect what is essential.

The pearl held by the figure refers to the Daoist concept of the Inner Pearl (neidan zhu), symbolising condensed vital energy and inner cultivation. Within this framework, light is understood as a gradual process of becoming formed through care and sustained attention
