A YEAR OF LIGHT
A YEAR OF LIGHT
This is how your light relates to mine
This work compresses an entire year into a continuous horizontal field, time stretched, held, and made visible. In this series, relational time emerges as a lived presence, turning a circadian rhythm into a physical landscape.
Each calendar extends to three meters, where sunrise and sunset are traced day by day in gouache on paper, marking the quiet persistence of passing time.

A YEAR OF LIGHT
This is how your light relates to mine
This work compresses an entire year into a continuous horizontal field, time stretched, held, and made visible. In this series, relational time emerges as a lived presence, turning a circadian rhythm into a physical landscape.
Each calendar extends to three meters, where sunrise and sunset are traced day by day in gouache on paper, marking the quiet persistence of passing time.
It is a meditation on distance and simultaneity, a subtle yet insistent emotional mapping of how one place leans toward or pulls away from another over the course of a year.
Two cities are held together within the same temporal field, their differences unfolding side by side, their rhythms sometimes converging, sometimes resisting, sometimes mirroring each other across distance.
The palette is relational. Color carries tension, overlap, and contrast; it absorbs proximity and separation. It becomes a language of feeling, where shifts in light register as shifts in relation.
Set against a time of ongoing conflict, the work turns toward what cannot be broken: the shared condition of light. Day after day, across all places, light rises and falls. Breakfast starts the day, then lunch time and diner follow each other to lead us into the evening and its rituals.
The works hopefully brings you in the minute tasks that make our days the same where ever we are. What remains is this: a fragile continuity, a shared horizon, a recognition that even across distance, across difference, and across rupture - in these dark times we all pray for light under the same sun.
