The first part, THE SONG IS YOU is a new rainbow poem installed in the courtyard of the Royal Academy. Suspended three meters above the ground, the rainbow creates an arc beneath which visitors must pass in order to enter the Summer Exhibition. The rainbow transforms the threshold of the museum into a moment of passage, guiding visitors from the street into the space of the institution.

The second part, LIGHT, consists of fifty-four flags installed on Bond Street, Mayfair. Each flag presents a different sunrise or sunset derived from my ongoing sunrise/sunset paintings, a body of work I began in the summer of 2016. As people move through the city, the flags unfold like a sequence of changing skies, carrying viewers through the rhythm of a day.

The third part, MORE LIGHT brings six sunrise and sunset images into the intimate space of the gallery. The paintings are made with watercolour on unprimed cotton using the most reduced means possible: a horizon line and a circle or half circle lightly drawn in pencil, followed by loose washes of color whose edges remain open. The simplicity of the works with its loose watercolor washes allows the image to exist in a state between appearance and fading away.

Together, the three parts form a progression: from the embodied encounter of the ‘song is you’, to the collective and public experience of ‘light’, and finally toward the meditative interiority of ‘more light’. The projects move from threshold, to city, to inner space; from the singular body, to the collective, to consciousness itself, while remaining rooted in the same elemental vocabulary: rainbow, horizon, sky, sun, moon, colour, light.

Across all three parts, light remains the constant element. Not as metaphor, but as a condition of being. Sunrise, sunset, are universal images that belong to no one and to everyone at the same time. In these works, light becomes a way of thinking about presence, impermanence, longing, and the continuous passage of time.
