Artist Statement:

Seek the light. Explore the light. Hunt the light.
The lighthouse, traditionally a beacon of guidance, is now constructed from books each representing knowledge, effort, and perseverance. Its light not only illuminates the path but also reveals the future an imperfect yet meaningful journey of growth.
The discarded headphones subtly suggest a shift from distraction to focus, reinforcing the theme of dedication. The books are vibrant, symbolizing the diversity of knowledge, while the golden light represents hope and enlightenment.
Through this artwork, I aimed to inspire viewers to embrace education as their guiding light toward a brighter future.
