Full-size Image – Socket explores the intersection of light, image, and physical objects. By using an empty slide, the projector emits a blank light source instead of a conventional image, illuminating a power socket on the wall.
In this moment, the socket exists both as a tangible object and as its own projected image simultaneously. The work challenges the relationship between images and objects, redefining light not just as a medium of vision, but as an active condition that shapes the experience of image. When the socket is illuminated, it simultaneously functions as a physical entity and an image, transforming image from a mere optical translation into a conceptual construct shaped through the act of viewing and cognition.
