ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

I AM THE LIGHT

Lightboxes with short poetic messages have been placed all around the city, a literary circuit to be discovered during a stroll through town. These lyrical incursions in surprising locations enliven the urban landscape with charming but cryptic statements that are at once personal and evasive. Philosophical in nature, the excerpts open the door to existential contemplation and invite passersby to plunge momentarily into an introspective reverie.
