When we watch stained-glass compositions we understand how much the glass likes colours. How much it likes green or blue, gold, yellow and orange, how much it likes red. Glass realizes its love for colours by the help of equally passionately enamoured light. And light brings anxiety, uncertainty and drama into that affection. In one moment it fills and enflames something red or golden, putting out something blue or green and sending it into the darkness. However, it does not leave it in the dark, it keeps it there only to call it back the next moment and brighten it up. By moving during the day and changing in different seasons, light constantly changes the importance and significance of the participants in the performance. It constantly changes and moves the accents in these windows. Stained-glass compositions are not completed by the painter, but by the light. And light teaches us that green and blue is not always green and blue to the same degree and in the same way. Owing to constant changes of light, the green and blue we have seen previously are revealed to us as the green and blue we have never seen. By watching these stained-glass windows we cannot be sure that what we see today we shall see tomorrow.
