Angel Presence creates an immersive light and sound experience through the use of lasers, Swarovski crystal optics and peripheral imaging. 

It aims to shift visitors’ sense of being, and employs technology to bring them into what the brand describes as 'a meditative state of heightened awareness'.

The installation employs an RGB 10W-scanning laser, which is shot through a cluster of Swarovski crystals. The facets of these crystals multiply and refract light to create an angel, which changes throughout the space.

The installation is available for viewing at the Danish Church by London's Regent’s Park until tomorrow (17 October).
