Lessons from Magritte

]Make a hole and fill it with the unexpected. Shape a hole as a silhouette of a bird, an apple, a face and add still one more layer to the enigma. Shadows and reflections and extremes in light are the stuff of the puzzle. Each color, each intensity, each light has dominion in a sector. Peggy Guggenheim understood the question of perception when she bought Rene Magritte's painting Empire of Light for her place in Venice. The light shared by a family glows through a house window. The tall lamppost secures the street. The sun's evening warmth reluctantly releases the blue sky to night. Each light is an owner of a space determined by how far it can reach. But darknesses also have their regions and boundaries. The mystery succeeds only if the balance is maintained without an answer.
