Illuminating Decay draws you into total darkness, where six glowing lanterns expose the fragile line between nature and humanity’s destructive touch.
This installation reflects the invasive spread of waste and the urgent need to confront it. The lanterns shine not just to reveal the damage but to challenge us:
How will we reshape our impact on the world before it’s too late?
Illuminating Decay, Photo Lanterns with Digital Prints on Matte Paper, Recycled Cardboard, Duct Tape, LED Lighting, 2024
Each lantern is crafted from photographs showing waste invading natural landscapes—plastic tangled in roots, debris floating in polluted waters, and the scars of human neglect etched into ecosystems. The lanterns are the only light, guiding you closer. From a distance, their glow is soft and inviting, but as you approach, the haunting details emerge, demanding attention.
