Silence + Light

The non-verbal meets the unmeasurable.  Does one break the other?  I feel that in silence you can see light while in light you can feel silence.  So each one is greater with the aid of the other.  Kahn talks about Silence as the "desire to be, desire to be expressed, the source of new need" while Light is the "measurable giver of all presence."  He talks about how these two entities meet to create a manifestation to be.
I found the manifestation of Silence and Light in the work of Lynn Fox.  Fox studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture.  She is dedicated to the pursuit of architectural ideas through moving image.  She designs by exploring the spatial concepts of using animation and film to develop a series of exhibitions that bring the viewer into a realm of visual space. The mysterious nature of her work provides the viewer with a wonderment of the non-verbal and unmeasurable atmosphere from which her designs encompass.
