Shadows of Light and Night

Light is the essence of everything, yet its strength and beauty are conditioned by the accompanying shadows and its shine is defined by the contrast of the darkness. The most beautiful light has its grounding in the dark undertones, similar to joy, which is rendered stronger with slightly melancholic memories. In the darkest of shadows and sorrow, the light can always be accessed via the recollection of a past luminous memory. Each happiness contains a small disillusion, whereas each sorrow has hope built in. Seeing the perfect dance of light amongst the shadows is the foundation of my photography.
