Light Fantastic

 All that you see and perceive around you is created by light. Or what is actually called light particles, Photons. A electromagnetic wave, surfing the universe, giving shape and form to all that is. Light has always been and is , and will continue to be the most vital ingredient to any of us.Especially when it comes to Art and Design.
   Painting such as that of Impressionism paintings are only of colour. No line work at all, only different spectrum that combine as one, creating shape and form. Most great art is of this loose but accurate perception of the world. That we have no “Outline” but are being of Light. All things in the known universe are of Electro Magnetic Radiation. For me, as my boyfriend had influenced me in this so much, It is so vital.
   How many of us, of not most, do not realize or understand this basic part of our own existence. Is it not also, Magical! That we are creatures born of light, without it nothing out be. No colours, form or shapes or creativity. There would be a dark void, devoid of any substance of shape. A vacum where creativity once was or never had the chance to grow past it’s infancy.
   What is most fascinating to me always , light itself is a Wave….the same as a musical instrument that you might think. Short waves or long waves, each one a different colour, a different vibrations.
    Today at the exhibition ” FIVE MINUTES OF PURE SCULPTURE” by Anthony McCall at Hamburger bahnHof museum  I felt as if , this was something amazing to experience, to interact and see light in such a way. In which I almost became a part of it. As if somehow I can feel the light it self (even tho this was just an illusion I could not physically feel it). This is why I was so impressed with this exhibition. It makes you appreciate light.
   So, my outfit for today, was to match the light. In the pictures you see the painting with white and black lines, I wanted to have something which can show directionality…to show light in a visual form as a painting. For me the easiest was to have black and white. Simple, but it works!
   The next time, you stand on a summer day with the sun illuminating your day with its many elementary particles , giving this form of “you”. Imagine how it would be, to be in pure blackness. So then, appreciate and learn of the basics of our universe. All of us are designers, humans are build to design and to explore.  Not only have are we Born from Star dust, from supernovas, not only are we born from black holes and masses of energies that we still can not understand, but we are 14.6 billion years old. The matter of “light” and all other that existed then exist in each living human being now.  Light is actually came to being later after the big bang, but it is one of the most fantastic, it shapes us and all that is.  So what is more amazing? 

   Light…Fantastic.
