Surfaces define the shapes of our world; light allows us to see them.

Light is the insubstantial foundation of our world. The energy from the sun that fuels life arrives as light, both the colors we see and the forms of electromagnetic radiation that we usually do not think of as "light"--radio waves, heat, ultraviolet light, and X rays. We see with light: it is the air perception breathes. We communicate and measure with light. We use light to talk, write, and move objects, and to machine and weld matter.
