Light as the giver of all presences.
- Louis I . Kahn


Light itself has no meaning, but the shedding of light gives presence to all kinds of things, giving birth to meaning.
It is within the meaning of the forever transient nature of natural light that it also asserts its presence in time.
It is unchanging static light, which exists within this enclosed space.

Reflect on the meaning of the presence of things, while becoming a part of this space brimming with light.
This also means to contemplate the presence of the unfamiliar.
