Light is something we often pass by without noticing, yet it never truly disappears. Beyond being a mere physical phenomenon, it transforms spaces, awakens the senses, and continuously interacts with us. In my exploration of the relationship between light and shadow, I questioned how lighting can reveal new meanings of space and existence, as well as serving as a tool for illuminating darkness. At first, I believed that using luxurious materials like crystal, glass, and ceramics would enhance the dramatic effect of light. However, through lots of experimentation, I realized that what truly matters is not the material itself, but the act of blocking and reflecting light. The moment light is obstructed, the material's opulence fades, and in its place, new forms and sensations created by light and shadow arise. Shadows cast under intense lighting are not simple remnants of darkness but delicate dialogues woven into space by light. I explored the interplay of illumination and shadow using wire and thin translucent paper in this process. These materials' shadows don't just depict darkness; they also produce scenes that evoke the skyline and winding streets of New York. New York is a city where day and night, light and darkness intersect dramatically. As deep shadows extend between tall buildings, sunlight perpetually reflects off of glass windows and concrete walls. These shadows unfolding under intense light metaphorically show the city's energy and the hidden narratives within. Sometimes light fills a room with explosive energy, and other times it fills it with a whisper. The delicate shadows it creates are not simply darkness but an endless conversation with light. Shadows are reborn through light, and light becomes clearer through shadows. Just as the most intense light often blooms within the subtlest shadows, so too does the city. New York, filled with dazzling skyscrapers and neon signs, may appear to be a city of brilliant light, yet within it exist countless shadows and unseen stories. The Rebirth of New York is not merely a lighting piece but a philosophical exploration that reconstructs space and existence through light and shadow. Wire and translucent paper either capture or reflect light, demonstrating how the intensity of illumination and the delicacy of shadow complement each other. The shadows in this work are not simple voids but traces of existence that become even clearer in the absence of light, symbolizing the duality of New York itself. Just as the city exists in radiant light by day but reveals its depth more vividly at night, this piece presents a new landscape shaped by the coexistence of illuminated and unlit spaces. Through this work, I seek to convey that light does not simply brighten a space—it shapes its narrative. Lighting is more than a visual element; it defines the character of a space and alters perception. Only when light and shadow coexist does a space become whole. The Rebirth of New York invites us to rethink the familiar relationship between light and darkness, offering a transformative experience that reshapes our perception of space.
