Here’s the thing about light and dark: dark cannot extinguish the light unless it allows itself to go out, but light can always chase away the darkness. Anchor the light, feed your light, let it shine shine shine.

My BFA thesis show explored “Patterns of the Universe.” I looked at how macro and micro structures mirror each other. I’m now reading an interesting piece about how physicality, energy, life occurrences are all indeed patterns - fractals - to be recognized. yeshuani.org/products/pdf...
