Lichiban
"My favorite medium is light."
Drawing on her background in traditional painting, Lichiban treats colored light as her paint to experiment and blur the boundaries of photography and fine art. Through her personal work, she seeks to reveal a world where the physical and spiritual realms are more interconnected, where light and color bridge the gap between the two.
Lichiban’s recent body of work, Color Therapy, channels color’s rejuvenating essence through abstract compositions leading awareness to flow states.
"My personal photography work draws on my interests in spirituality, consciousness, multidimensional explorations, light healing and visual storytelling, but my passion is fed by my love of people & telling stories through forever moments. Using my lens & creativity is a way of showing love. Shining new light.”
