## About

REFRACTION is an experiment with perception, where light and form lose their usual
outlines. We hide the light source and leave it moving and distorted. The viewer no longer
sees clear objects, only their reflections, refracted through physical and psychological
filters. The installation makes you think: what do we actually see — the true world, or
just a distorted version of it?

This installation by the media.tribe art collective, created with the support of UNIVERSE
design studio, invites us to perceive reality as a continuous process of change, where the
very essence lies in its instability.
