Light is fundamental—it shapes life, perception, and even technology.
Biologically, it's essential for vision and for processes like photosynthesis, which sustains ecosystems.
Psychologically, light influences mood, sleep cycles, and cognitive function.
Technologically, we rely on it for everything from communication (fiber optics) to energy (solar power).
Philosophically, it’s often tied to enlightenment and understanding.
