Light makes the visible possible; it opens up the space in front of us and makes it easier for us to navigate through it. While it is evident that its presence lends brightness and clarity to the appearance of things and that its absence negates vision, we could say that light is the only thing we perceive. However, if we consider it more closely, light always goes unnoticed. What we see are things, objects, but never light. Vision is only possible when the path of light is intercepted by another element, to which it gives its form. But if there were nothing to reflect it toward our eyes, we would not see at all.
In short: the presence of light exposes everything to vision, except itself.
