The Flow of Light

The bottle stands transparent and still, in dialogue with the flow of light, as time slips past the surrounding objects.
Transcending time and space too, the light, in the same manner, breaks through the frames of the objects, bringing freedom and splendor to this piece of artwork.

Bethel Lu sees herself a “follower of light”, and her artwork demonstrates the transparency of light. In this painting, the light in the glass is exactly the same light that is perceived in the background, and on the desktop. The glass bottle, in its complete stillness, gives life to the presence of light.

Lu employs midtone colors to create the harmonious feel of natural light against the glass bottle. People form the core of social life, but it is only in the power of natural elements that modern society gains balance – so too does the uncreated light balance the created bottle in her painting.
