Tyyni, the first artwork by OSOTO lab., was created during a residency in Solf, Finland, exploring natural elements like the irregular movements of wind, light, and the slow passage of time. Inspired by the vast plains of a meteorite crater, where sky and land merge, the work reflects nature’s quiet forces and the connection between earth and sky. Units sway gently in the wind as reflective ribbons shift color with sunlight and perspective, creating ephemeral landscapes. Water, inspired by Finland's lakes and forests, flows through the structure, harmonizing with wind and light.
