RAINBOW

Hope is like a Rainbow

Yari Häfele (AT)

When everyone’s gaze is fixed on panic… the artist invites us to shift our perspective toward something positive.
And what better symbol for that than a rainbow? Rainbows represent hope, peace, diversity—and countless other meanings unique to each individual.
This installation captures both the physical phenomenon and the symbolic richness of the rainbow.
The natural rainbow is recreated using millions of tiny glass beads affixed to a black background, illuminated by a full-spectrum light source.
Everyone associates something different with rainbows. And just like those associations, a rainbow reveals itself differently depending on your point of view: sometimes a certain color shines more brightly, sometimes elements appear to be missing. From certain angles, the rainbow seems to leap out at viewers thanks to its 3D effect. Much like hope itself, this installation reminds us that everything depends on perspective.
