Vein of Light — 光脈

Post-photographic Material Abstraction
My work began with an interest in light, then shifted toward the matter that receives, absorbs, and reflects it. In the Mineral series, I abstract matter beyond what exists in nature to explore the changing relationship between light and material—its weight, density, resistance, and transformation from one state into another.
I think this is much stronger for the homepage than the previous “world’s only artist…” line because it states the core of the work without over-explaining it.
