(Bonae)

My practice originates from a 20-year career in digital media, where I became aware of how screen-based light shapes perception, memory, and emotion.

Using transparent vinyl, I explore what happens when the logic of the screen meets material resistance. Through transparency, reflection, and scattering, the work creates a sense of depth and spatial atmosphere.

Rather than functioning as images, the works operate as perceptual conditions shaped by light, space, and material presence.

After Luminosity III

By removing colour and exposing underlying layers, I allow light and surrounding space to become part of the work. Through transparency, reflection, and scattering, the work creates a sense of depth and spatial atmosphere.
