LIGHT & SHADOW | ORGANIC COGNITION — Haci Sami Yaman
LIGHT & SHADOW – ARTHELPER ART COMPETITION
ORGANIC COGNITION – Light, Shadow & Perception
With this artistic video, I am participating in ArtHelper’s “Light & Shadow” art competition.
My work explores the interplay of light, shadow, color, movement, and the different dimensions of perception.
Light reveals what is visible, while shadow can emphasize or conceal other dimensions of what we see. Together, they create contrasts, transitions, connections, and transformations.
I am particularly interested in how different lighting conditions transform the appearance of an artwork and how its structures, shapes, and colors can be perceived and interpreted in diverse ways.
These artistic explorations are part of my long-standing engagement with organic cognition, information fields, the microcosm and macrocosm, and the relationships between humanity, nature, and cosmic order.
My works represent independent artistic and philosophical reflections. They make no medical, psychological, or therapeutic claims, nor do they present themselves as universally established scientific findings.
For me, art means making questions visible, allowing different perspectives to coexist, and approaching the unknown with openness and respect.
My heartfelt thanks go to ArtHelper and to everyone who accompanies my artistic journey with interest, attention, and appreciation.

I appreciate your distinction between waiting for one decisive moment and revisiting a work over time. With very limited eyesight, even a small change in light or contrast can alter what I can recognize. My layered paintings invite me to return again and again: a line or symbol that disappears under one light may emerge under another. This is not simply patience; it is part of my inquiry into how an image is formed in perception. In your photography, have you ever returned to the same subject and discovered a completely different visual relationship? Warm thanks, Haci Sami Yaman
Der Unterschied, den du benennst, ist der, dass eine Linie je nachdem, wie das Licht darauf fällt, verschwindet und wieder auftaucht – das ist die Wahrnehmung, die sich selbst verändert. Ich musste nie zurückkommen, um es zu sehen, aber ich habe definitiv einmal mit einer Blume gestanden und darauf gewartet, dass genau diese Veränderung passiert.
