Mark Whalen’s Night Lights at Harper’s features sculptures exploring human connection and emotion through vibrant materials like glass, aluminum, bronze, and marble. His freestanding and wall-mounted figures interact in various ways—some in quiet contemplation, others tangled in visual dialogues. Shimmering light bulbs and winding cords symbolize inner thoughts, while delicate forms emphasize fragility. Whalen’s works capture the complexity of relationality, where connection is a tangled, ever-shifting dance.
