Light's Presence - Twilight Sky #02

　The object you see in front of you has so many meanings superimposed on it that conflicting meanings can also be created. Where do we focus our attention and what do we find in it? The object to be recognized does not appear from a single point of view; it appears in a different form. When you capture multiple impressions, it can expand your tolerance for the beings and events you face.

The “texture of light” is expressed using the scenery at dusk as a motif.

I am often fascinated by the twilight scenery that “makes me lose sight of even the timeline.” Diverse colors unfold every day, and in the ever-changing light, plants seem to melt into the light. The interior of an object gradually becomes unclear, and it changes like a shadow painting. Interestingly, however, the outline that remains until the end certainly foreshadows what it was originally. This phenomenon seems to be questioning how we understand the world.

From the viewpoint of brain science and philosophy, perception of the world is constructed from three elements: “qualia,” “cognitive function,” and “linguistic classification.” I considered that these elements “overlap like layers” to capture the world, and focused on the multi-layered structure of the cognitive world.

I take “outline” as a symbol of a “boundary based on linguistic classification,” and use a contrast between unclear expressions within motifs and contours that remain in consciousness. By including light reflection, color changes due to polarizing pigments, and accidental textures in the multi-layer structure made of transparent materials, it is intended that different appearances will appear depending on how the focus is applied.
