The show's title takes inspiration from contemplating the source of reflected light, letting the mind focus entirely on one thing; a star, a concept, or an image until it transforms before your eyes. It changes hue or shape and bleeds into the surroundings. It changes its form as you stare into it and lingers as an afterimage on the retina and in your mind.
The themes are of various kinds, but seemingly most of them appear highly current, such as; climate change, gender politics, society, technology, and various personal matters. Together they serve as expressions of how widely the medium can be used, and how intertwined photography is with different aspects of contemporary life and society.
