These artworks explore the meaning and experience of life through an abstract and spiritual lens utilizing color and light.

Color and light have been a subject of fascination among artists, scientists, and psychologists since antiquity. The earliest references to color theory appear in the writings of Leonardo Da Vinci and Sir Issac Newton. Newton first developed his theory on light and color, explaining that white light is composed of seven visible colors. Other theorists later expanded color theory beyond science concerning aesthetics and psychology.

Throughout art history, artists like Mark Rothco and James Turrell have devoted their work to the study of color. These works have proven the power of color to impact our psyche through profound emotional responses.

Scientific development in the field of color has added mysticism to everyday life. Human processing of color is not concrete. Newton discovered that colors are not inherent to objects. What we see as color is a biological translation of light— in other words, a perception of reality.

LUDI was made with the fascination of color— scientifically, artistically, psychologically, and spiritually. It separates us from concrete reality and opens us to understanding life through an alternative perspective.
