To be able to project images you need a light background. To
have images of possibility and potential you need a background that illuminates
life. Our lives, the ones that are situated in our heads, are played out in
loops of varying intensity, running through to futures uncertain, to hopes and
fears and to all the beginnings and endings that may happen and, also, may not
happen. But black absorbs the light. No images can be seen on a black
background. Only darkness, ever widening, which makes you believe it has always
been there and it will never go away. But the light, in the end, only has to be turned
on. It’s just that the light-switch can be hard to find in the dark.
