Radiant Presence is an art installation that addresses the subject of light pollution, particularly focusing on the individualistic attitudes that one produces regarding the stark
reality that the stars have become less visible to us. Each individual, with their needs and actions, contributes to the reason behind our obscured view of the stars.
The lights that illuminate our nights are a direct consequence of our actions, but it is not the lights themselves that are responsible for our inability to behold the stars. It is the manner in
which we conduct our lives. We often hear that public lighting is the primary factor behind our starless nights, yet by adopting this stance, we merely distance ourselves and erect
barriers of blame. Through my work, I aimed to portray precisely this sentiment that we contribute every night.
