This project focuses on exploring candlelight and the images created or revealed through it.
Drawn to the raw beauty and atmosphere of candlelight, I wanted to amplify its essence or reflect its principles.
At first, I used analog printing and cyanotype techniques to work with images captured by a camera. However, I wanted to find a way to show the illusion of these images more clearly and in real time. The work captures the flickering of candlelight as it passes through lenses and reflects onto a wall.
By placing lenses of different sizes along the edges of a partition or folding screen and positioning candles nearby, the burning wick appears enlarged and more vivid. When installed on a wall, the work reveals the illusory reflections of the candlelight projected onto the surface.
