Solar Ornithopter

Using light as a source of energy, the Solar Ornithopter flaps its wings and flies around.

Although it is a simple mechanism, the motions of the Ornithopter create small changes in the surrounding space, bringing calmness and serenity to the viewer's feelings.

The motion of its wings flapping offers a perception of warmness as if it is alive, and the motion of fluent flying offers a recognition of the gentle flow of time.

The motions of the Ornithopter inadvertently brings awareness to things that are barely recognized in our daily life.

Our Solar Ornithopter is an ornament that we designed and made with such thoughts.
