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 Iris, you have expressed beautifully what interests me about making illumination part of the work rather than treating it as a final presentation choice. I live with a severe visual impairment, so small changes of contrast can have a disproportionate effect on what I perceive. In my layered paintings, lines and polished surfaces appear and recede as lighting shifts. I ask whether we see an object as it is, or build our experience through light, memory and inner interpretation. It is an artistic and philosophical inquiry, not a medical claim. Have you ever deliberately used this transformation while creating a painting? Warm regards, Haci Sami Yaman
Diese Frage, ob wir sehen, was ist, oder ob wir es durch Licht und Gedächtnis erschaffen, ist diejenige, die dir im Gedächtnis bleibt.
