Design Brief

Over the past two years, I have immersed myself in an artistic exploration of the color spectrum and LED lighting, pushing the boundaries of contemporary art through the lens of experimental controlled environment agriculture (CEA). This unique fusion of art and science allowed me to investigate the interplay between light, color, and living organisms, creating a space where technology and nature converge in a carefully controlled setting. My work delves into the emotional and psychological effects of light on both humans and plants, exploring how color frequencies influence growth patterns, perception, and mood.

Using LED lighting as both a tool and medium, I constructed dynamic environments where light itself became a living, transformative element. By documenting the research in this project, I captured the nuanced relationships between artificial light and organic life, offering insights into how specific wavelengths impact plant development. This process became a metaphor for the interconnectedness of all living systems and the ways in which human intervention can shape natural growth.

The outcome of this project is a series of immersive installations and visual experiments that challenge our understanding of light as a static phenomenon. These works highlight the spectrum’s potential to influence behavior, evoke emotion, and foster sustainability in agriculture. By blending art, technology, and environmental science, my journey reflects a commitment to innovation and discovery, bridging the gap between creative expression and ecological responsibility.

This ongoing exploration reimagines light as an artistic and functional force, inviting audiences to engage with the unseen dynamics of color and energy. Ultimately, my project underscores the power of art to inspire new ways of thinking about our relationship with the natural and technological worlds, celebrating the beauty and complexity of life illuminated by the spectrum.
