light that inspires.

The following series of "light" images have been selected to share with you because each one portrays characteristics that are, in my opinion, intriguing.

^ The three images above are of light-emitting, fiber-optic wallpaper that I immediately fell inlove with. I appreciate the nontraditional, yet functional use of lighting.

^ The next three images seen above were chosen due to their crisp, clean and very intentional application of simple lighting that adds a sense of sophistication to the spaces. I especially enjoyed the "Torn Lighting" concept by Billy May, allowing LED lights to seep in from the walls.

^ The two images above present a attention-getting illumination that undoubtedly leaves an impression on visitors of the sites.

^ "Light Graffiti" is a new artistic expression that has begun to grasp the attention of many, including myself. An abstract form of light graffiti is seen in the bottom two images of this set, produced by the light that has been projected or cast upon the surfaces.

^ With sustainable design as a tenet of 21st century designers, I admire the natural light that is flooding the spaces in the images seen above. The pure natural light surely eliminates the need for artificial, energy-guzzling lighting during the day.

^ This last set of images are on display because I find the light within each of them very unique and interesting. The top two images of the set are of a club created out of illuminated recycled crates. The next image is a facade at the New National Lbrary in Belarus, saturated with colorful LEDs. I enjoyed the next image of a retail store in China due to it's monochromatic scheme highlighted by very intentional lighting. The last image is that of a digital clock that also serves as the lighting within the room... very original.
