Nebula transforms a shipping container into an immersive field of light and atmosphere. The work reflects on the paradox between natural and artificial environments, exploring how light reveals and obscures perception at the same time. Within a dark, hazed space, beams of light drift and scatter, creating an ambivalent environment where visibility becomes uncertain and discovery becomes self-motivated.
The project draws from an observation of the sun as both the origin of visibility and the source of blindness. Through this duality, Nebula examines the human desire to perceive what lies beyond the limits of vision—between the physical and psychological distance that separates self and environment. Light in this work becomes a metaphor for consciousness: it travels, reflects, and disperses, inviting viewers to encounter their own perceptual boundaries and the tension between the natural and the constructed worlds.
