viiibratiiions x TimeOut is a permanent light-based installation by Haiiileen, created using over 300 feet of LED tubing and four sculptural “haiii-light” forms. This immersive environment explores color wavelengths, emotional frequencies, and reflective geometries, expanding Haiiileen’s signature language of light into a living visual diary. Installed at TimeOut Market Miami, the artwork transforms the space into a multidimensional spectrum that shifts with perspective, reflection, and mood — merging sculpture, illumination, and durational color study into a continuously evolving experience.

Description
viiibratiiions is a sculptural light environment composed of rhythmic, wave-like LED pathways and reflective color-shifting surfaces. A blend of form, frequency, and energy, the installation mirrors emotional wavelengths — mapping color to mood, movement, and internal states. As the viewer walks the space, the artwork behaves like a living pulse: bending, reflecting, and refracting its surroundings into new chromatic experiences.
“Be the white light that shines so bright… where infinite wavelengths are born.”
Conceptual Framework
- Light as emotional frequency
- The body as a conductor of color
- Color theory as mood language
- Sculptural waves representing vibrational patterns
- Reflection as a portal into parallel emotional states
- LED pathways functioning as energetic neurons
- A living visual diary that evolves over time
Installation Components
- 300 ft of custom LED tubing (by Leon Roe)
- Four large-scale haiii-light sculptures (2’x8′)
- Mirror-like reflective surfaces
- Architectural window reflections amplifying infinite loops
- Digital photography series capturing periodic “mood shifts”
- Time-based color cycles echoing internal emotional landscapes
Artist Reflection
This installation is a study of emotional resonance — a place where color becomes language and light becomes memory. viiibratiiions is a reminder that we are all wavelengths, shifting, expanding, and reflecting each other’s energy. This work is as much about presence as it is about perception: a real-time exploration of how we feel, shine, and vibrate in connection with our world.
Archival Significance
- First large-scale permanent “waviii” installation
- Expansion of Haiiileen’s rainbow mirror + light sculpture practice into architectural space
- A foundational work establishing the ongoing “artist mood diary” photography series
- A signature example of her synesthetic color language
- A merging of public art, emotional expression, and environmental design
