Lightning State is an installation artwork featuring a moving image of a merry-go-round that continuously rotates in vain in ruinous space, set against a backdrop of rumbling lightning. As Tesla coil creates lightning, the image of the merry-go-round begins to burn. The fire spreads over the entire scene and ends up in ashes. When everything turns to ashes and wraps up in the dark, rolls of thunder are heard, and lightning reappears, followed by a projection of an image of cherry buds beginning to unfurl.
