The idea I had may prove weak, but it always leaves a trace. Which
may then prove durable and become the starting point for a new work
of art.
Like a whisper; nothing but the colour black and the counter-light;
in fact this means the last breath. Or actually the first. We cannot
define them or separate the first one from the last without giving
them a meaning which they do not in themselves possess.
A black pane, vibrationless. A square, or two pieces of land. Black
soft earth, sweet and painful. Above everything, a dazzling joy. We
all owe ourselves that much. Only that measure of infinity. Full.
For emptying.
You can only go from darkness to light - and back - in order to see.
