“Silence of light” shows essence of human being as unique and perfect spirit connected to nature.
Analyzing of time motion through combination of material and light, and feelings with light. All parts interact each other by changing own material being, and it’s continuous live process, an integral part of which is human. 47 emotionally psychological portraits with intuitively-symbolical way of expression, organic compound of people with environment.
