The poetry is addressed to the lover, the soul mate, you, the viewer.

In 'Poetic of Light/ Poétique de la lumière,' I attempt to incorporate the text of the poetry as a design element in the dance of the figure as it is being spoken in the video. Though the theme is ancient, the creation of the universe out of light, and draws on traditions not only of modern physics but of mysticism, some Sufism but in particular creation as it is presented in The Zohar, a central Kabbalah text, I hope the viewer comes away from 'Poetic of Light/ Poétique de la lumière' carrying the awe, of creation, being, life, the universe. While I find a distinct, if unintentional, reference to Plato's cave in the last frame, I also understand the observer witnessing the light as an appreciation of what is greater than us.
