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.

Dear Linnie, your tulip at seven in the morning and at noon is a beautiful parallel to my inquiry. The flower remains physically present, while the light changes the colour, texture and visual hierarchy that reach us. With my very limited eyesight, small differences in contrast can profoundly change what I can distinguish. In my layered paintings I experience a similar movement between what is hidden and what emerges, and I cannot always separate discovery from artistic choice. Your point about deciding which version a viewer meets is especially interesting. When you wait for that cloud to move, are you choosing a particular image, or allowing the flower to reveal something you had not expected? Warm regards, Haci Sami Yaman
Diese Frage, die du stellst, ob du auswählst oder zulässt, glaube ich nicht, dass ich jemals diese beiden entwirrt habe. Das Warten erledigt beides auf einmal.
