Time-Lapse


The Art of Time, Light, and Stillness
While SY-NK sculptures express form through space, the Time-Lapse collection explores form through time. These video and photographic works document the evolving relationships between light, weather, plants, and structure — primarily in the urban gardens designed by Halsted Welles Associates.
Each piece is a meditation on stillness in motion — offering a slowed-down way of seeing the living systems we move through every day.
“Time doesn’t just pass. It shapes. It reveals. It heals. These works are about noticing.” — Halsted s Welles
