Light is the Birth Giver
Photography; abstract; concept art, science, the metaphysical
'Light is the Birth Giver' challenges conventional color symbolism by exploring the visual spectrum holistically rather than fixating on singular hues. The project transforms photography from documentation into mystification, using a torch and brooch to create enigmatic bokeh effects that prioritize light's implicit impact over explicit subject matter. The work creates mystery where viewers question what they're observing while stepping into deeper abstraction. The camera becomes a vehicle for transformation, creating what one might describe as "beautiful lies" that reveal more truth than literal representation.

The project's conceptual strength lies in its rejection of the brief's prescribed approach, choosing scientific exploration over colour symbolism. By focusing on light's refractive properties, the work demonstrates sophisticated visual thinking that finds beauty in optical phenomena. The accompanying stop-motion animation reinforces this approach, moving from mysterious shadow to soothing revelation, creating a poetic bridge between physical and metaphysical experience. The project succeeds by proving that implicit effects can be more fascinating and intense than explicit subject matter.
