With a strong emphasis on the idea of the filter, this body of work investigates sight and light; the relationship between physical and psychological in/sight. It seeks to raise awareness of different ways of seeing and screening, illuminating both the possibilities of what light could mean and the limitations of how we conventionally perceive things in society. 

I have always been fascinated by light and the play of shadows on surfaces. There seems to be a spiritual or life-like quality in it. Light's ‘something more’ persuades me to question: what lies beneath the surface of the seen? 

Bridging and borrowing from various working fields (mainly medical and scientific) which divulge things usually hidden, the works question the fullness of sight, and its metaphysical manifestation begins to be unearthed; excavated from darkness. Like in a laboratory, every movement and experiment involving the ‘study-matter’ is monitored and recorded. Yet, whilst these scientific methods illuminate and document the physical reality of the scope of light (and thus sight), they can never fully capture its essence. In fact, by attempting to record and preserve its ephemeral qualities, some of the transcendence of light may be lost.

The mystery of light lies in its transience: its absence and presence; illusion; its undeniable incandescence and its very uncapturable-ness. It speaks for itself best. It can be art and science. But light is many things. Light is living things. Light is inside of us if we choose to see it or feel it.
