In the center of the image, a large cliff face is illuminated with a light projector, casting a large shadow of two figures, one of which is holding what appears to be a face mask. The light projector is being held by what appears to be a woman. The woman's hair is lit up bright white by the light projector, and her shadow is cast on the rock face to the right of her position. The light from the projector is illuminating a section of the cliff face, and the rest of the image is dark.
A person is standing in front of a cave, surrounded by blue lit walls. A mysterious light shines through the cave, illuminating the person. The person''s presence adds a sense of scale to the vastness of the cave. The combination of  blue light and water creates a captivating and otherworldly image.
A woman's shadow is projected on a stone wall at night, creating a striking and mysterious image. The dark night sky serves as the backdrop for this captivating scene, with the woman's shadow cast against the stone wall of the castle.

Hikaru 輝 Ray of Light

A transcendent journey into the world of the unconscious, a light installation in movement that creates an illusionary symphony that shapes and stirs the senses. Shadows transform and dissolve, revealing stories that shift with each angle, while electroacoustic soundscapes emphasise the fragile distinction between reality and illusion. A theatrical experience that invites viewers to immerse in a fluid interplay of light, shadow and meaning; a dreamlike realm where perception, metamorphosis and illusion dance as one. Each moment unfolds like a multi-layered metaphor. 'Hikaru', originating from Japanese, translates to Ray of Light. It embodies the concept of a radiant beam that illuminates our journey during challenging times bringing clarity to the aspects of ourselves that remain obscured.
