We have this phenomena of artistic creation of the life beyond what’s shown to us
This is a symbolic representation of said phenomena
How does this work in fiction, in non-fiction, in visual conveyances?
The light is also placed there for us, as we are our first audience but modally different. We are the audience to a creative process, with the need to sense that more needs to be said. So we reach to say, to tell about the life beyond the light in the window.
