Presence in Between

In this project, I continue to explore the spectacular works of art created by natural
sunlight on the grounds and walls of our surrounding environment - art that changes with
every glimpse.

As sunlight travels in eternity, embracing us tightly at times and tenderly at other
times, it not only reveals to us the absolute beauty of shadows but also creates a
spiritual world between two physical entities. I have been fascinated by the evolving
images drawn by the hands of nature, which appear only for moments and change instantly
with the breeze and continuous movement of light. The same image and intangible sense of
presence can never be captured twice even at the same time of day and under identical
climate conditions.
