Light finds its way through what remains.
Shivelight explores the fleeting shafts of light that filter through trees, drawing a connection between the cycles of decay and renewal. The work takes its name from an old word describing this natural phenomenon, translating an ephemeral experience into a tangible sculptural form.
Suspended vertically, the sculpture brings together hand-shaped salvaged tree bark and reflective surfaces. Fragments carrying traces of growth and loss are interlaced with materials that catch, reflect and transform light, creating a shifting relationship between the organic and the luminous.
Presented at Al Shindagha Museum, SIKKA 2026, the sculpture establishes a fragile vertical presence, inviting stillness and an awareness of what is often overlooked: the invisible, the possible, the quietly luminous.
