Inspired by the music of Bob Dylan
“Refractions in the Dark” drifts like a Dylan song—where light cuts through silence, bends around corners, and finds its truth inside the shadows. These works, painted in white against black, echo the way Dylan’s lyrics hold both revelation and riddle. Nothing stands still: the dark carries the light, the light carries the dark.
Here, shadows don’t just follow—they speak. They shift the frame, shape the mood, the way a half-heard verse can change the meaning of a song. Absent sharpens what remains, turning every edge into a question, every flicker into a revelation.
This collection asks you to pause, to look and listen. To feel how light doesn’t just shine—it breaks, it bends, it sings. And in that space between what’s seen and unseen, Dylan’s music hums, reminding us that the silence between the notes can be as powerful as the chorus itself.
Music plays a vital role in my creative journey. Each show begins with a carefully curated playlist that accompanies me while I create the images. The titles of the songs inspire the names of the pieces, adding an extra layer of meaning to the work. As a special touch, each show is paired with an Apple Playlist, which you can access through the following link: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/refractions-in-the-dark/pl.u-r2yBAxxFPye1WR
