I Am Light, Sharp and Luminous is a photographic series made in response to loss. As grief altered my sense of time and perception, I was drawn to water, weather, and the night sky as shifting, luminous, and indifferent forces. Photographing the sea, turbulent storms, and celestial light, I created a threshold where darkness and luminosity coexist. The series explores how the elemental world can hold what cannot be fully articulated, offering a space for experiences that resist language. Created during treatment for a sight-threatening eye condition, the work embraces blur, disorientation, and double exposure as part of its visual language. Here, the unknown becomes both subject and method.
Some star imagery incorporates photographs from NASA's visual archives. With gratitude to NASA for providing access to this resource.
