Until we adding ourselves in interference
Positive is determined by its negative, similar as a group of elements can be defined by properties, which they do not have. They have many common characteristics, but they exclude each other rather than be the same. One neither the other would be as they are, without each other. Like two siblings – me and my brother. We are like two ends of an abscissa, with many shades of grey in-between. During the creating process the image shifts between positive and negative. Black and white are distinguishable until an interference is achieved – interacting, edge abrasion, mirror adjustment. Finally, the convergence changes them both to the monotone grey matter. Positive or negative no longer matter.

Dokým sa nesčítame v interferencii
Pozitív je určovaný svojím negatívom, podobne ako množinu prvkov možno definovať tým, čím nie sú. Majú veľa spoločných čŕt, no skôr sa vylučujú, ako by boli rovnaké. Jeden ani druhý by neboli také, aké sú, bez toho druhého. Podobne ako dvaja súrodenci – ja a môj brat. Sme ako dva konce úsečky, medzi ktorými je nekonečne veľa sivých. V procese tvorby sa obraz preklápa medzi pozitívom a negatívom. Čierna a biela sú stále rozlíšiteľné, až dokým nedôjde k interferencii – vzájomnému ovplyvňovaniu, obrusovaniu hrán, nastavovaniu zrkadla. Nakoniec sa priblížením obaja menia na jednotvárnu sivú hmotu. To, či je obraz v pozitíve alebo v negatíve prestáva byť dôležité.
