My work is an exploration of spatial possibilities created with the help of light and mundane objects. The boundary between the object and light is blurred in order to create an ephemeral experience. I use light as an analogy for the object as the light itself becomes the object and the object is merely a carrier of light. They involve the spectator to respond to the choreographed conditions of light and darkness making it an abstraction of something concrete. The lit up voids will form a composition which brings rhythm and movement to the rigidity of the object. When it is enveloped with the surroundings, the object confines light into a form which becomes the content. The void is never unspoken and that is what my installations and sculptures ought to be about. Light pushes the viewers to have a bodily encounter with the object , to have a moment of concrete engagement with the intangibility of light. My works are mostly invasive; isolating; and crude, yet undeniably real, present and alive.
