Project Ascension is a philosophical and artistic evolution of the Light Waves series, inspired by Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. In the allegory, a prisoner escapes the shadows of illusion to confront the blinding truth of the light. Symbolizing the painful but necessary journey toward enlightenment. Similarly, Ascension challenges each revealed Light Wave to emerge and step into transformation.

This dynamic project allows all 3,333 revealed Light Waves to participate in a gamified, multi-round process of elimination, with each phase reducing the number of contenders until only one remains. The art evolves based on the original revealed Light Wave, echoing the idea that growth comes not from abandoning one’s source, but from transcending it. With each round, fewer remain, but the concept grows clearer: Ascension is not about winning, it’s about the journey to break loose of one’s bonds and move closer to the light.
