Light through Closed Eyelids
Light through Closed Eyelids addresses the paradox of perceiving light without direct vision. Inspired by the inward phenomena of phosphene and pressure-based luminosity, the work detaches illumination from its source and anchors it in the body’s interior. It repositions light not as something seen, but as something experienced through perception itself.
There is no spatial anchor, no directional lighting—only a slowly unfolding field that resists orientation. The image oscillates between inner sensation and cosmic vastness, creating a perceptual limbo where the act of looking resembles the act of sensing. This introduces a conceptual inversion: vision becomes tactile, interior, and unmoored from optics.
The result is a quiet but decisive shift away from representational space toward embodied perception. It aligns with the structural ambiguity of artists like McCall or Creed, but with a unique focus on phenomenology and non-retinal light experience.
