A piercing spike that my girlfriend left at our friend’s house. I asked a friend to take a picture of it to make a joke and they got a low angle with the camera flash slightly below the piercing. It shines most on the palm of their hand and the spike, creating long shadows behind them and on their fingers.
1) 3/6/26 – 6:30p – Aunt’s hotel lobby
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: sculpted white staircase illuminated by six small floor lights. Next to it is a mirrored ball with a slice through the middle, light pours from the center and onto the wall and staircase.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: white light reflects off the white staircase and makes the space feel brighter than it is. Due to the floor lights you can see the curve of the staircase reflected in the mirrored surface of the ball. As the light spills out of the inside of the reflective ball a stark line is created on the wall. As the line of light gets further from the origin the edge becomes softer.
1) March 6th- Outside of Hofusa
2) I was walking to Hofusa to get myself some well deserved dinner when I noticed something. As I walking closer, it was pretty dark but from the distance, there are a set of lights that are extremely bright outside of it.
3) The lights reminded me of when you would see a lighthouse from the distance. The lights reminded acts as a guide to figure where you need to go on a lighthouse. So, I immediately started thinking of that when the multicolored lights.
1) 3/4/25 – outside Netherlands Core
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: single yellow/amber light lights the surrounding brick wall. There is a ring around the center of the lamp creating a shadow that separates the light into 4 quadrants around the light.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: yellow light cast from the lamp looks like a reverse butterfly shadow, where instead of shadow cast from the wings it is light. There is no other light, the lamp casts a very low golden glow onto the floor and snow below. It feels like a butterfly spreading its wings and flying off into the night.
1. March 6 2026, 12:38am, path between alliance hall and the student center
2. Outside my window it was pouring and looked to be slightly flooding. The lights from the student center reflected off the water on the ground, disrupted by fast ripples made by the rain.
3. This scene gave me a serene feeling. The bright light on the student center hitting the layer of water made it look almost like the moon reflecting off the ocean at night.
2)I took this photo on 3/3/26 at The Shed in Manhattan
3) Bizarre
4) This is a photo from a Mitski concert I went to this week. She is an artist who plays a lot with contrasting visuals and sounds in her performances. Here, thee white spots of light give the impression of stars which make sense with the sweet song she is singing, but the large red beams read as bizarre to me because they don’t exactly fit the feeling of night sky or ethereal love in the way the music and stars do. This adds a layer to her visuals that contextualizes the love she is referring to as also the fiery passionate kind, the way that we usually associate red with love. The amount of texture on stage along with the straight beams of red and white light is automatically bizarre and fills the stage with life.
