“The darker the night, the brighter the stars; the deeper the sorrow, the closer God is.”
Apollon Maïkov, 1878

“Darkness is your candle,” wrote the Sufi mystic Rumi in the 13th century, inviting us to understand that shadows, far from being merely a source of trouble, are also the place from which the deepest lights emerge. This exhibition is dedicated to the glimmers that refuse to fade in the face of the darkness that surrounds us. It thus pays tribute to those lights that nourish the hope of healing, to those that, in the heart of the night, watch over the celebration, rebuild connections, and teach us to be alone no longer together, as well as to those moments of dazzling brilliance that offer a glimpse of the beyond and carry the promise of shared transcendence.
