Gibran.

How Do You Flash Your Lights?
I use my practice to signal out and bring many of the things I value most into the light. A common theme in my work is how the past affects the present and how they both affect the future. Children are part of the light we flash toward the future. Without trying to make them like us, we can best “flash our lights” by giving them the space to develop flashing their light into the future which in the end will include us in many ways: we are our ancestors, we are the present, and our children flash and shine that into the future.
