Description

Through his creations, Lou invites viewers to interact with his works. Her wall sculptures create different visual compositions each time they are activated. By opening or closing one side of her triptychs, observers discover totally different combinations as shapes and colors appear or disappear. Partially or completely open, they will discover multiple compositions, inviting contemplation. Lou seeks to bridge the growing distance between viewers and the works, and to break the traditional “do not touch” rule.
