Two figures stand before the same silence, yet inhabit different realities.

One looks at the image; the other becomes an image.

Between the human body and its shadow lies an invisible border—the fragile distance between presence and absence, identity and anonymity, being and becoming.

Perhaps we do not truly see the world as it is.

Perhaps we only recognize the shadows of what we are.

Philosophy as light for freewill.

My friend Jeff walked past the table and started snapping away. This was the lovely result. I always think about existentialism eveytime I look at this.

"...last autumn when i was in paris giving a seminar on existentialism..."

In Christianity & Lit, we finally discussed Lost in the Cosmos and The Moviegoer. as well as a discussion of Atheistic vs. Theistic Existentialism vis-a-vis Camus and Kierkegaard. It really was a fascinating lecture! (and it apparently took up a lot of desk space for my professor, too!)

Beneath the artificial light, matter becomes a silent metaphor for existence.

The body waits, the objects remain, and the gaze passes between them—

between life and consumption, presence and absence.

Perhaps we are all only temporary forms, illuminated for a moment

before disappearing back into the darkness.
