This sculpture is part of the Lost Rays Series collection, which show that In every human, there lies a hidden world where light and darkness coexist. Recognizing this inner duality is a journey toward one’s authentic self—a place where, through the acceptance of weaknesses and overlooked aspects, a profound strength is born. This power does not stem from the denial of darkness, but from the ability to integrate it with light, allowing one to see rays that may have previously been lost.
The lanterns explore the intricate interplay between light and darkness, where not every light serves as a true guide. As Nietzsche said, many individuals seek lights that promise enlightenment and truth, yet these beacons may merely illuminate shadows of reality. These works serve as a reminder that, in the search for direction, one must carefully scrutinize every light and remain wary of the deceptions of false illumination.
It reveals that good and evil arise from within. A darker form emerges from the human figure, symbolizing hidden desires that can be transformed, through the guiding light within, into true understanding.
In contrast, the darker form emerging from within, crafted with patinated mirrors in tones of red and crimson, embodies hidden desires, suppressed impulses, and the truths we often choose to ignore.
