LIGHT ASSEMBLAGE

2021-2022

The five objects on the wall are an assemblage in which instead of a white linen cloth, countless black ribbons are attached to the canvas frame and fiber optics are woven between them to connect them to the lighting.
The appearance of the fibers, which glow between the black bands in each short and long shape, is reminiscent of a Morse code or weave. The word text originally comes from the Latin textus, "textile", and textus comes from the Latin verb texere, "to weave". Writing means weaving texts. It is the coding of ideas through the interweaving of letters. I visualize my idea by weaving materials together instead of letters.

Therefore, the work created in this way is both textile and text.
