This work is a light installation and looks like just a simple black box in dark. If the box is there alone, the top of the box will slide open little bit and light will come out from the box that will arouse your curiosity. However when you come close to the box to see what is going on inside of the box, the top slides again and block the box so you can not see the light and inside as well. When you leave and there is no one around the box, the top slides again to let the light come out. You will never get the light around the box.

"Light" and "glow" always mean something. For example, in animations or movies, "something special" or "something important" such as treseures, special people like god, angels always represent with glowes around them. I believe that is one of the reasons that people pay attention to glow. Especially when you do not know where the glow is from, somehow it captures your curiosity. I was interested in this concept so made a mean box telling us "there is something glow inside but I will never show you what it is even though you want to know it."
