Description
Kookay in Mayan means firefly as well as the light that they emit. After the sighting of a couple of fireflies in Leshten, and once again experienced the curiosity and happiness that they gave me. I titled these works with their name as a push for the spectators to be curious with these two works that change depending on the light, as well as the perspective from which it is viewed. If the spectator decides to move while looking at these, their brain will experience different parts of the image.
