Red Universe — LED/Canvas Hybrid Artwork

“Emotion Mapping” was inspired by the idea that emotion can be read not only through facial expression, but through the energy that surrounds it. I wanted to explore how light behaves when it becomes part of a human portrait—how it amplifies tension, reveals impulses, or interrupts silence.

The LED neon lines were added later as a first narrative: a map of emotional signals. They highlight areas where intensity rises, where thoughts break through, where feeling becomes almost physical.

I hope viewers sense this interplay between stillness and motion. The medium—canvas combined with sculpted LED—was chosen because it allows the work to breathe differently in light and shadow. It becomes a living object, shifting in atmosphere depending on the space around it.
