Sourcelight is an artwork where people are part of the piece.
It happens through light installations that are temporarily constructed in intentional places that serve as co-authors in the work. Each person who participates is represented by a single object called a Lumen. When an installation comes together, many distinct presences exist at once, held within a shared work shaped by the environment in which it appears. All parts hold their own, yet cohere as a whole.
When the installation ends, Lumens are returned to the person whose light was represented. It’s not symbolic. It’s a record of presence, and of what remains when that presence continues beyond the moment it was witnessed.
We all arrive with something to bring into the world. Creation is not reserved for a few, and it is not something we observe from the outside. It happens through us. To claim one’s light is to accept responsibility for it, not as a belief, but as a condition of being present. What we bring forward, or choose not to, shapes what can exist next.
Sourcelight stands as an act of claiming that light, witnessing it, and standing as co-creators within the larger work of creation.
