American artist Lachlan Turczan has presented six [interactive halo art sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) for this year's Milan Design Week as a part of [Google's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water) Making the Invisible Visible show. He is known for exploring light and water and his work features Lucida (I-VI). It is housed in Garage 21 and features hues of white, purple, and blue.

Visitors pass through the bright veil which looks like curtains that sway in the wind or [soft ripples of sunlit waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). Turczan described that the installation is based on his ongoing Veils series and that it “envisions a future, not defined by physical mass, but by energy and perception. Here, light doesn’t serve to illuminate; it forms the very architecture of experience.”
