Blindness Light The Dark Box is a further extension of the Blindness Concept in which Javier Martin creates a visual echo of self-reflection, requesting the viewer to become the art. In this case, visitors com- pose the piece and its message by being present and deciding how to interact with it. People are seeing, being seen, and watching through these windows of Blindness.
Unless captured, shared, and viewed by the masses, it seems experiences do not become a reality. Does this desire or potential obligation to memorialize moments take precedence over a meaningful existence?
The metaphorical light within this box brings awareness to the dis- tractions that hinder us from realizing the pure light residing in each of us. Playing with the perceptions of the public, Martin invites the viewer to question their
views of vanity, self-worth, and conscious- ness.
