The Book of Darkness and Light by Byron Leigh Hopley

The inner battle of humankind is not a story from once upon a time. It is timeless. This body of art expresses hope, peace, struggle, strength, confusion and sorrow; it encompasses the lightness and darkness hidden within one’s being. It is the search for unity between the conscious mind and the physical body. Byron exposes the emotional state of the human mind and heart in which anyone and everyone can see within themselves. They are images of the mind, the unseen. A story of one person that reflects the essence of every man and every woman, is a symbolical story…. it is Byron’s Story. “Whatever it grants to vision and whatever it’s manner a photograph is always invisible: it is not it that we see.” (Roland Bathes, Camera Lucida)
