Transient Luminescence
After completing “my cosy universe” in 2024, I realized urban spaces are often dull and depressing. We forget beauty can be found in the mundane. Graffiti art, often rejected, highlights this. "Transient Luminescence" stems from this idea. Using three boxes covered in mirror and holographic film, a spotlight reflects light across urban spaces, warming them. This work has a multi-layer structure: the environment, the boxes, and the light scattering. "Transient Luminescence" is ephemeral graffiti, a momentary protest of the status quo. It ceases as quickly as it exists, leaving behind photographs that turn the ephemeral into the eternal, exploring the interaction between object and light in dilapidated spaces.
