Make Light to Me

Love, a word often used to describe the feeling of desire or fixation, and as a result the word has gradually been trivialized into having a superficial connotation. The phrase Make Light to Me is an attempt to provoke the viewer to rethink how they interpret love and intimacy. In ancient times, love was recognized to be complex, heartful, and have various specific classifications. The varieties of love were specific, describing love between friends, romance, family, and a general care for the human race: Philia, Eros, Storge, and Agape. Make Light to Me means to experience these individual types of intimacy that are not dependent on physicality, rather the experience of tenderness through knowledge and genuine connection. To Make Light to someone is not to lust but to know- truly, purely, and wholeheartedly.
