Interference #001

Interference #001 is a light sculpture composed of a grid that interferes with its own reflection. The image that emerges is defined by the viewer’s position. Through the subtle interplay of material, shadow, reflection, and perspective, Interference #001 engages in a continuous dialogue with its audience.

The work is not an image, but a system of interrelated elements. The composition derives its meaning from the interplay between these elements and the viewer’s perspective. There is no separate “subject” that exists independently of the form; in its radical minimalism, the work leaves space for interpretation to arise entirely from what the viewer brings to it. Meaning does not exist prior to observation. Like a quantum state, multiple potential readings coexist simultaneously, until the act of observation collapses them into a singular experience.

Interference #001 is inspired by wave–particle duality. Wave–particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that fundamental entities of the universe, like photons and electrons, exhibit particle or wave properties according to the experimental circumstances. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts such as particle or wave to fully describe the behavior of quantum objects. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, light was found to behave as a wave, then later was discovered to have a particle-like behavior, whereas electrons behaved like particles in early experiments, then later were discovered to have wave-like behavior. The concept of duality arose to name these seeming contradictions.
