Long long ago, God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.  Apart from being the blessing of God, light also means brutal abuse, strong control, center of stage, etc.  

Each individual, when he or she is exposed in the spotlight, would be forced to react spontaneously.   Privacy, beauty, ambiguousness disappear in the strong light, as they vanish under a microscope.

古早，神说：“要有光，就有了光；神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。”光，除了上天的赏赐，它也同时扮演粗暴的伤害，强悍的控制，舞台的中心，等等。每个被暴露者，对探照灯光的逼迫做出自己本能的反应。隐私、美感、模糊性，在显微镜般的强光中，均消失无踪。
