To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

We have to pay for the apartment, the car and the studio, and therefore, we have pressure from time, energy and money. I like painting in the studio, it’s free and relaxing. I don’t know what to do when I come back home and usually I just stare blankly. I feel spiritually lonely.
