Perilous Trap
Light is not merely illumination—it is existence itself. In "Perilous Trap," light emerges as both salvation and entrapment, a paradox woven into the fabric of space-time. A vortex of cosmic energy bends reality, drawing everything into its gravitational embrace, while a fragile figure—Humpty Dumpty—floats within the luminous stream, caught between ascent and inevitable descent.
This work explores the tension between innocence and the unknown, gravity and escape, inevitability and transcendence. Is the figure being consumed, or liberated? Is the light an exit, or an illusion of freedom? The answer remains suspended in the vast, indifferent cosmos.
Part of the Luminous Dream Series, this piece continues my exploration of light as existence itself, dissolving the boundaries between presence and void. Unlike traditional space art, which emphasizes the cold enormity of the universe, my work seeks to make the infinite deeply intimate—a place not of emptiness, but of recognition.
By embedding the familiar within the cosmic, "Perilous Trap" invites the viewer to contemplate the contradictions of existence: the weight of destiny against the lightness of being, the playfulness of myth against the vast seriousness of the unknown.
