Empty rooms A Quote by Bruce Nauman I don't think empty rooms are ever really empty. I think we subconsciously put our emotions into them. emotionemptiness
Deep shadows and darkness are essential During overpowering emotional experiences, we tend to close off the distancing sense of vision; we close the eyes when dreaming, listening to music, or caressing our beloved ones. Deep shadows and darkness are essential, because they dim the sharpness of vision, make depth and distance ambiguous, and invite unconscious peripheral vision and tactile fantasy.
