Torrent of Light explores how a static digital image can contain motion without depicting movement. Rather than rendering a figure in action, the work constructs a spectral field where color, light, and space behave as if in flux.

Drawing a conceptual lineage from Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2, which fragmented form to suggest motion across time, this piece inverts the strategy: it eliminates figure and sequence altogether, yet creates a persistent sensation of turbulence. Through layered chromatic transitions and spectral density shifts, Torrent of Light invokes a visual field that feels time-based—without relying on animation, repetition, or narrative.

This approach aligns with contemporary light-based abstraction, yet departs from optical or interactive tropes. Instead, it proposes a quiet paradigm shift: that a static work can perform temporally through perceptual instability alone. It invites the viewer into an active, durational gaze—one in which light is not merely seen, but experienced as spatial pressure.
