My piece “Hidden” was created to explore the relationship between both light and dark, how different materials can be perceived under different circumstances and how that changes them. Under overhead lighting the Mylar material seems to glow a yellow green hue, but when you hold up a direct light source like a phone flashlight-you are able to see the deep colors hidden beneath. Inside lies more of a pink/purple/blue undertone waiting to be found. Hidden in the monotonous white, textured landscape hidden gems lie waiting to be found. It just takes a certain light for the right colors to shine.
