Building on the legacy of artists like Sol LeWitt, Nancy Holt, Robert Smithson, Dan Flavin, and Robert Irwin, Shirley continues the exploration of light, space, and the modularity of archetypal forms, emphasizing their interaction with the site. She brings a fresh perspective by integrating questions inspired by recent discoveries in physics. In this work, the artist challenges herself to balance in-depth contemplation with a playful, minimalist approach. The dynamic form of the sculpture, along with its light, energizes the surrounding elements, granting them renewed agency to retell their story in the present moment.
