I wanted to write to you personally to share how deeply I resonate with the way light appears in your site-specific work.
The Birth of Light is a theme I am also working with—both artistically and inwardly. This season carries a quiet power. In the Western Hemisphere, it marks the return of light after the winter solstice, when the nights begin to shorten and the days slowly lengthen again. It is the time associated with the birth of Jesus, but long before that, for thousands of years, humanity has honored this moment as the rebirth of light itself.
The image of the children pointing toward the star stayed with me. For me, it speaks of origin and remembrance—that we come from the stars, that we are made of the same light we keep looking for. It felt like a reminder that we are not separate from what we seek, that we are here to carry and spread that light—now, here, in this place.
Working in the shadow of the wall, light becomes something earned rather than given. Your work exposes fractures not only in concrete, but in perception—where fear pretends to be solid, yet is already breaking. In that sense, light is not decoration; it is truth finding a way through.
Thank you for holding space where light can still appear.
With respect,
