Psalm 119:105 states “Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light for my path.” While the “word” in question here refers to the Bible, could language itself be considered light? Lamp/Lámpara/램프 is an exploration of language as light in a physical and spiritual form.

Stereo sound, single-channel video, television, chair, table.

To speak is to spark the light of knowledge

That is embedded into your head.

The words that are released tell the story of the path you tread.

내 머리 안에서 램프가 있어. 내가 말 할 때 불 겨져.

The light illuminates the surface of the waking world and the graymatter of the soul who lives in darkness.

A single word can be a salvation, and a salvation can mean the difference between alive and dead.

내가 말 할 때 나는 살아 있다.

내가 말 하니까 나는 살아 있다.

The word is a lamp for the person who cannot see.

The person who sees must examine the word to perceive a lamp.

새상에서 램프가 하나 더 있어. 당신의 말씀은 내 발에 등불이 내 길에 빛입니다.

Mi lenguaje es mi lámpara.

Mi lámpara es la palabra.
