The night sky and the smallest molecule are referenced in Half-light, rendered in both representational and abstract form. I invoke the ghostly and the paranormal as a way to understand irrational and unexplained phenomena. I look at the night sky and darkness, and study the emergence of light in these environments. Light emerges, but its source, whether ghostly or spiritual is unclear, resulting in ambiguity. I invoke the ghostly, the paranormal and the spiritual to create an immersive environment that invites contemplation.
