’Flame’ is a temporary installation of mirror papers that captures the essence and enhances the sunlight change during the daytime to create a beautiful light reflection at the site. Inspired by the idea of diamonds burnt in flame, each mirror sheet is hand-folded into geometrical diamond patterns that alter the flat reflection into an intricate luminous effect on the bridge's gravel facade, resembling the fire's rise and fall. Carefully auditing the daily sun behavior and movement using the sundial mapping technique, the installation is laid facing forward the brightest sun exposure during the noon transforming the dull mundane greyscale structure of the site into a temporally translucent canvas.
