Alongside its narrative structure, Traces of Light | Photographic Journey also unfolds as a path of experimentation. These works depart from the conventional logic of documentation, using misaligned light, layered reflections, and theatrical staging to create visual experiences that hover between reality and illusion. The Restless Phantom renders human presence as blurred motion, embodying the passage of time. Path of Oblique Light transforms architectural space into an abstract geometry of illumination. Passage of Reflections collapses reality and fiction within a single mirrored surface. This experimental strand challenges the boundaries of photography and repositions the medium as a laboratory of perception. The images are less about capturing what is and more about questioning how we see. By intervening with light, shadow, and spatial structure, the works estrange the viewer from habitual vision, opening new poetic possibilities in the familiar. They suggest that photography can be both experiment and meditation, destabilizing vision in order to invite deeper reflection.
