Artist Statement:
Each photograph in this series captures a moment where reality blends with illusion, revealing how design, light, and perspective can transform the ordinary into something magical. (Photographs are attached.)
1 – The X of Light and Lines (Corridor)
In this photograph, I captured a quiet corridor where light, lines, and reflections converge to form an unexpected “X”. The glowing ceiling lights stretch across the hallway, while the reflections in the glass create a crossing point like two invisible paths meeting in mid-air. The “X” is not drawn, yet it exists.
2 – Walking on Light (Ceiling Reflection on Shiny Floor)
In this photograph, I used a mirror to create an optical illusion by reflecting the ceiling lights and aligning the window corners.
The lower sections of the windows are, in fact, reflections of their upper parts.
This results in a playful illusion where architecture appears to fold into itself through light and angles. Interestingly, this photograph is equally captivating when viewed upside down.
3 – Light’s Twin Hallway (Window Glass Reflection Hallway)
This photograph depicts a long corridor with a glass wall reflecting the opposite side, producing a symmetrical illusion where real and reflected spaces merge seamlessly. The soft lighting enhances the contrast between the tangible and the mirrored worlds.
Through this series, I aimed to illustrate how light interacts with architecture, transforming ordinary spaces into visually compelling compositions. The reflections serve as a second reality, inviting viewers to question what is real and what is merely an illusion of light.
