The artwork titled “Dhatu,” created by artist James Turrell in 2009, exemplifies the Light and Space art movement. It is a part of the “Ganzfelds” series and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork presents a large, rectangular form with soft, rounded corners, illuminated in varying hues of pastel lights. It is set against a background that transitions seamlessly from one color to another, creating a mesmerizing visual continuity. The rectangular form appears to hover, transcending physical boundaries, offering an immersive experience. A solitary figure standing in front of the installation underscores the scale and the encompassing nature of the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between light, space, and perception.
