A Glimmer (The Circle of Light)

This sculptural tableau gathers a ring of earthen, animal-like forms—each crowned with a bare lightbulb—around a central green lantern, as if a nocturnal congregation were negotiating what it means to see and to be seen. The tactile grain of carved wood and bundled straw carries the memory of hand labor, while the electric bulbs introduce a fragile modernity that feels both illuminating and intrusive. Composed as a quiet ritual on a white stage, the work turns light into a shared vulnerability: knowledge becomes a communal offering, yet every figure’s “idea” is exposed, unshaded, and tenderly precarious.
