Subtleness
A tangent line touches a curve at one given point. Respecting such gentleness and subtleness, as well as the power of the point of contact, Tangent carefully and delicately tells a narrative which talks to people’s hearts.
Tangent creates a dialogue that bridges the gap between fantasy and reality with their work, which they believe enriches the modern society and culture.

Interior lighting inspired by golden ears of rice swaying in the wind.
Light from LEDs is cast in dots, reminiscent of paddy rice, through perforated tubes attached to narrow stems.
Human-detection sensors, embedded in the base of the installation, cause the stems to sway as a person passes by.
