We do not perceive the world we see. We see the world we perceive.
A space filled with countless glowing spheres of light. When you reach out, it shines brightly—and the nearby spheres start to light up in response, one after another.
As you look around more carefully, you start to notice dark spheres too—like solid pieces of shadow. But these dark and light spheres do not exist. And neither the light nor dark spheres are made of any physical material—they’re made only of light. There’s no clear edge between the light and your body.
However, in this universe, light does not solidify, and light alone does not become a spherical mass. In other words, this sphere of light does not exist.
This sphere does not exist in the physical world. Instead, it exists in your cognitive world as a Cognitive Sculpture, something that is part of your own perception. Its “materials” are light, the environment, your body, and the way you perceive everything together.
The artwork is not a physical thing—it’s a phenomenon shaped by your cognition and the space around you.
When it exists in perception, it exists.
