Presence and absence are closely related. There is a sensitive balance between a physical presence and imaginary absence. Absence can’t exist without a physical presence. It may sometimes be so intense that it dissolves the presence and the absence becomes present. This symbiosis creates the foundation for a physical strength of the presence and lightness of what is non-excisting. What is physically existing can therefore be an illusion of what is absent.
