The line that separates between white and black interests me: it is the axis of things, where the core of movement lies. This is the twilight zone, slightly lit and slightly dark, where the darkness charges the whiteness with transparent spiritual shadows, and whiteness charges the darkness with flashes that light up the entries of blackness. Only here can I focus and fortify myself, and befriend myself. Only in this area of middle can I observe my errors.
