Dark light






There is something about a chandelier hanging above one’s head, filling the space or a room with a statement of “I am here.” 
Usually crystal, they were first designed to maximise the candle light that flicker and brighten the extraordinary rooms and spaces of the privileged. 
They still posses that notion of ‘de lux’, which is interesting as the word ‘lux’ is Latin for light.

There in a darkened room full of chandeliers that glowed green, they did not emit any light or golden glow. 
It was the UV light engaged that generated this strange, otherworldly effect. 
The feeling was that they almost sucked what little light there was into themselves.

There was and is something challenging and beautiful about this moment.
