Resonance of Renewal

Resonance of Renewal is an audiovisual sculpture in the entrance hall of the Jules Bordet Institute. Suspended from the high ceiling, this organic form contrasts distinctly with the hospital's clean, linear architecture, highlighting the delicate balance between the structured medical environment and the complex, holistic journey of each patient.

While it is difficult to pinpoint an exact number, research indicates that over 250,000 cancer-related studies are published worldwide each year. On average, this means a new scientific study is released every two minutes. To reflect this pace of discovery, a small light ignites at the beginning of the sculpture every two minutes, traveling through its entire form and gradually illuminating it throughout the workday. This ongoing visual process symbolizes the steady progress in cancer research, offering a sincere message of hope and advancement to all who encounter it.

The sculpture’s flowing, organic design, resembling a double Möbius ring, serves as an evocative visual metaphor for the endless cycle of life, interconnectedness, and transformation, mirroring the ongoing process of healing and adaptation.

Beyond its aesthetic contribution, Resonance of Renewal invites reflection on the role of data in healthcare. By integrating this data in an encrypted and respectful manner, the sculpture seeks to enhance the connection between patients and the broader advances in medical science, emphasizing the ongoing progress and collective effort in cancer research.
