Through this assignment, I was able to understand more about the concept of light. Light, in

natural or artificial form, are able to create various forms of visuals that creates harmonious

imageries. The images formed are able to create their own unique characteristics, temperatures,

intensities and emotions which are observed by our senses and consequently create perceptions

of the environment.

In the first series, the intensity of light from the sun in the evening depicts the temperature

of natural light. The sunsets illustrates different gradients of colours, gradually changing with time

and density of clouds in the surroundings, thus, creating a natural lighting with diverse shades and

hues of colour making each sunset of each day different from the yesterdays. Although the source

of light was not clearly visible the intensity of colour hues are strong. The artwork represents the

ever-changing gradient of colours in the series of photos. The indefinite shapes of each colours are

used to depict the shifting shapes of clouds.

The second series illustrates the emotional ambiance that can be created with artificial

light. Using LED lighting from a table lamp and an air diffuser, the balance of dark and light is

manipulated to produce a variety of images that gives out a mysterious vibe for visible vapour of

water. For the artwork, I’ve used cotton pads to represent the water vapour and a battery operated

LED light. The cotton pads was the closest material to signify the water vapour as its fibre can be

easily transformed.

The third and final series is the natural form of light (sun), which appears in the form of rays

of light as it is blocked by the clouds and buildings in its path. Sunlight peeks through the clouds

creating rays of light in its place, demonstrating a powerful source of energy. For the artwork,

flower-shaped sculptures made from air dry clay is to represent the clouds. The positions are

scattered and of different sizes just like the clouds to show variety. Colours used are warm colours

such as red, orange and yellow. These colours represent the rays of sunlight, dispersing in radial

direction.

In conclusion, the way lighting acts can change the spatiality, the atmosphere and the

visibility. The lit environment deals with brightness, shadows, lighting distribution, colour and many

other aspects that influence our visual experience and plays with our mood.
