THE SHIELD
Ellen Siu and Cheryl Chan

Concept Statement:
Our collection of planets is surrounded by a large asteroid belt. These rocks exist in a revolving path and resemble a ring. Planets around and near Earth are shielded by a natural phenomenon that keeps the asteroids at bay. Our projects is designed to recreate the phenomenon that shields our planets from harm. The top layer of our lighting design protects the layers below. We aim to create a nurturing mood that makes a space engaging. We have employed the technique of defused lighting and plan to use plastic as a building material.

Bio:
Ellen Siu and Cheryl Chan are both currently pursuing a BFA in Interior Design at SCAD Hong Kong. They found early on that drawing and designing relaxed them, and when they discovered that their work could be comforting to others as well, their hobby turned into a passion. As a team, they think that art should make people happy and relaxed. They hope that their lighting design could make a space engaging and interesting.
