I Saw The Light explores the uneasy feeling that we are not alone—even when there is no one else around. As a lifelong horror fanatic, I have always been drawn to the unexplainable. The idea of paranormal activity fascinates me, yet I remain skeptical. Any unusual experience in my own life can usually be explained away by exhaustion, altered states, or the mind’s tendency to misinterpret what it cannot fully grasp. Without irrefutable evidence, belief always feels just out of reach.
This tension between wanting to believe and needing proof sits at the heart of the work.
Why do these encounters seem to happen only when we are alone?
Is an overactive imagination crafting these extraordinary moments for us?
Does fear of the unknown convince our minds that something uncanny is happening?
Or are people truly witnessing something beyond explanation, some form of spirit energy?
In I Saw The Light, I allow my imagination to run toward the possibilities. Each image stages a lone figure in a public space at night, confronted by a sudden and unexplainable burst of light. This recurring beam or flare becomes a visual stand-in for the mysterious energy so many claim to encounter. In some scenes, my subjects appear as witnesses to the phenomenon; in others, they seem to generate or summon it themselves.
Through constructed, cinematic composites, I explore not the truth of the paranormal, but the psychological space where belief, doubt, fear, and wonder collide. The light becomes a metaphor for the inexplicable, an invitation to question what we see, what we fear, and what we choose to believe.
