Light sculptures two
The human form attracts the most attention in any images, this is shaped by evolution. It was important for us to recognize another person anywhere in order to decide whether they were friend or foe. This gave rise to the phenomenon of pareidolia, a type of visual illusion, recognizing familiar images when looking at randomly formed images. I was inspired to create the series by the world's most expensive photograph, Peter Lik's "Phantom", where chance played a role and a human-like image emerged from a column of dust and light. In my series of Light Sculptures I explore the facet of our visual perception where we can either feel nothing or see human characteristics in random light strokes and endow them with soul, history and character. The series of light sculptures are made in the author's long exposure light painting technique, which I invented in 2020.
