This essay explores the nature of light in terms of personal experience, but also its emotional, poetic, and philosophical implications. Even when Plato is not quoted, the myth of the cave is implicitly discussed, in terms of the meaning of light as that which literally illuminates and creates belonging and, at the same time, also produces shadows, which are not —in this essay— the pale reflection of reality, but rather the unique and ephemeral traces of a true exercise of memory.
