The turbulent sky is rendered in shou sugi ban — an ancient Japanese technique of controlled charring — creating a deep, textured darkness that shifts between black, brown, and violet depending on the light. Below, the mountain's slopes descend into a constellation of hand-placed LED lights that trace the streets, towns, and homes of the communities that live in Barva's shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy day, it is a striking sculptural relief in raw and charred Pochote.
