Play of the opposites. Even when I was little, I liked to watch, how through the window shining light slinks on the floor, walls, surfaces of the things, by creating various patterns. Or brightly enlightened various objects it creates their doubles and like the existence of the parallel world. Without a light there isn‘t a shadow. Without the shadow we won‘t see, how bright is the light. One without the other unable, complementary each other two opposite poles. Together merging and creating various scripts, signs. They are everywhere, where is able to infiltrate even the slightest ray of the light – and on the magnificent buildings, and in the corner of the small room, and in the bright interiors, and in the glade of the forest. The scripts, that we can read as the book of the moment. Because the next moment will be already other signs, other scripts, other book. Just watch and read.“
