Night Light

Abstract

In 2023, I took weekly night drives with my family and learned how to catch the bus. Both experiences are linked by vehicles but on a deeper level introduced a space where I could refresh my mind and escape isolating thoughts that question my self-worth and identity. On the bus I had time to slow down and notice life. During night rides, the city lights provided a refreshing scenery when negative thoughts made it hard to sleep. From the exploration of recycled materials and combination of different printing methods, emerged a warm, humorous and weightless world that reminded me of these two experiences. Night Light hopes to honor these spaces and moments that give us warmth during times we feel in the dark.
