Visible things can be invisible. If someone rides a horse in a forest, first you see them, then not, but you know they are there. In the White Signature, the horsewoman hides the trees, and the trees in turn hide her. However, our thought encompasses both the visible and the invisible. And I use painting to make thought visible.

How can a dialogue be possible if we see ourselves while looking at the other?
What happens if similarity leads us to merge into each other and lose our identity?
From a distorted mirror emerges a monstrous image.
