'When light is reflected on black, it transforms and transmutes it. It opens up a mental field all of its own.'
– Pierre Soulages
There’s a line in one of Haruki Murakami’s novels where the sky grows darker, one stroke at a time, into deeper shades of night. Whilst wandering the streets in the night air, I connect to it all - the night pulse, from the stars, city lights to other souls who inhabit the city after dark. The shades of night are like entire universes to me.
Poetry is an awareness of the world, a particular way of relating to reality’
– Andrei Tarkovsky
Wandering the streets like a spectator from Rilke’s Duino Elegies, always seeing, feeling, and connecting to everything – In search of a certain mood, a certain light, from the ordinary to the sublime state.
