The series projection reflection explores the interplay between light, matter, and perception.
The point of departure is a photographic recording of light composed within the controlled environment of the studio. Here, colored wavelengths intersect, are captured, and subsequently transformed into a new medium.
The photographic image is translated into physical form through UV printing with pigment on transparent polymer sheets. These prints are then shaped and molded into objects that occupy space. Within this spatial context, each object acquires a new meaning: it no longer functions merely as a carrier of an image, but as an active element within an exchange of
reflection, transparency, and shadow.
The specific qualities of the polymer material—its ability to transmit, absorb, and reflect light, as well as its malleability—are essential to the work. Combined with the pigments and materials such as aluminum, copper, and mirrored surfaces, a sculptural language emerges in which light itself becomes a medium.
