This work depicts the earliest stirrings of light—a presence newly born into the cosmos, still learning how to move, how to shine.

In Young Light, I sought to express the freshness and innocence of light in its first moments.
It does not yet follow a clear path. It wavers, flutters, and drifts, as if surprised by its own existence.
There is no memory here—only curiosity and expansion, as light begins to feel its way through space.

Each glow is like a heartbeat of the universe, discovering color for the first time.
The motion is not grand, but intimate.
The radiance is not mature, but pure—unformed and full of promise.

This is not light as knowledge or memory, but light as discovery.

Herein lies Hokusai’s discerning eye for beauty.
