The 7-meter-long wall installation made of 160 dowsing rods arranged in a long optical waveform is connected to themes of natural movement and organic form. The use of dowsing rods, typically used for finding underground water sources, can be seen as a metaphor for tapping into the hidden energies and movements that exist in the natural world. ‘Wave Form’ hints to the idea of desiring something that is hidden or difficult to find, like water or minerals.

The installation invites the viewer to consider the ways in which we can tune into and connect with the natural world, something that is particularly important in an age where we are increasingly disconnected from nature. By bringing together art and the natural world, the installation encourages us to contemplate our relationship with the environment and to consider how we might become more attuned to its rhythms and movements.

The divining rod is said to be almost 15,000 years old. Archaeologists assume that the oldest ore mines in South Africa were discovered about 15,000 years ago with the help of the divining rod. The use of ancient tools such as the divining rod can also be seen as a way of harkening back to the past, reminding us of how humanity has connected with and depended on nature in the past.
