Series “A beam of light for boundary sight” (2016-2019) investigates a separation and alienation of a space by placing a source of light above and below water’s surface. Water is about 800 times denser than air. It slows the speed of light and bends its rays. This so called refraction effect draws a boundary between 2 completely different worlds: the space we live in and the space underwater, which is so foreign to our survival. As a result images appear quite mysterious, in some cases even synthetic or unreal, this way shedding light upon transcendent presence of the world around us, also raising questions about the nature of the forbidden (taboo, transgression) and about the aesthetics of liminality.
