This piece was the fourth work I made for my "Light Body" series—my first collection of neon artworks, centered around glowing facial features designed to animate the interior of a space.

Each piece was created to live in domestic settings—not as decoration, but as presence. Eyes, mouths, ears rendered in neon became active companions on the walls. Together, they suggested that the home isn’t passive. It sees, listens, and holds energy.

The work is influenced by my Japanese heritage and the Shinto belief that kami—spirit—exists in all things. "Light Body" was a way of making that felt sense visible. By placing facial features onto walls, I invited a shift in perception: that our environments are alive with us. Watching. Witnessing. Responding.

This listening form hangs quietly, but attentively. It suggests that the space holds memory and sound—that even in stillness, something is always receiving.
