Light Abstraction 1941

György Kepes made this photograph, *Light Abstraction*, and it feels to me like a painting even though it's not. I can imagine him arranging these geometric forms on a flat surface, playing with light and shadow to create something that feels both precise and dreamy. The lines and shapes remind me of early experiments with abstraction. I wonder, what was he thinking about when he made this? Did he see these forms as a way to explore the possibilities of visual language? Maybe he was inspired by the way light can transform everyday objects into something new and unexpected. The push and pull of the composition invites us to consider how we see and what we expect from an image. This piece feels like an ongoing conversation about how we perceive the world around us.
