The Lighthouse series was inspired by the mentality of complacency surrounding climate change.  On an individual level, these works represent instant gratification and comfort creating a wilful ignorance, while also metaphorically reflecting the global scale issue.  The figures being blasted in the face with sunlight became a motif to signify a warning, which is met with apathy or avoidance by the human element.   The sunlight pouring inside from an unseen window creates distance between what’s happening outside with the comfort and sense of security, provided by the house.
