These artworks should be regarded as “bringers of light and knowledge”, in accordance with the artist’s intention. The origins of the word “light” guide us: it derives from the Greek phainō and from the Latin lux and its meaning is “to show”, “to illuminate”.
This is our philosophy: light is what allows us to distinguish forms, to see the fullness of reality. However, we are truly aware of the light only when it is away: we are not able to know what is not illuminated.
