TITLE: The Room of Light Abduction

The light, as a metaphysical entity, comes to us from a source about which we know very little. But it also remains unknown where the light will penetrate and where it will end its long journey. This series creates mystical images of the room with its strange inhabitants, where the light is abducted, where the dark mirror exists, a kind of anti-Aleph (read Jorge Luis Borges), a portal from the light to dusk infinity.
