My Father, The Sun & The Hungry Ghosts
My Father, The Sun & The Hungry Ghosts
Where science and sanctity intersect, an overlapping study of light and religion reveals a similar paradox: that it may blind you or clarify the way. Inspired by the “hungry ghosts” found in every family tree, this installation speaks of haunting traditions of the past that no longer make sense in the present—yet if illuminated, uncovers a hypnotic space at heart.
