Lighting is a visual language that speaks volumes without uttering a word. As an artist that uses light as a medium, each beam of light serves as a brushstroke, painting the stage in a choreography of light, shadow, and color, illuminating the unseen to reveal each layer of every story through the art of lighting design.
