Elisa Sighicelli

Chairs

A diptych of luminous chromogenic prints mounted on light boxes, Sighicelli's *Chairs* bathes an ordinary domestic subject in an ethereal, glowing light that transforms the mundane into something quietly mysterious. The backlit quality of the work lends the chairs a haunting, almost cinematic presence, as if caught in a moment suspended between memory and reality. Sighicelli's signature use of the light box as a medium elevates the photographic image, giving it a translucent warmth that blurs the boundary between photography and light itself.
