The invisible self
Just an appreciation post for the beautiful symbolism layered in the cinematography of the OA. I think the use of light and shadow is so beautiful and intentional, showing the duality of hope and loss or life and death etc and the concept of another self. To me these shots are like the characters are looking at themselves across dimensions - in OA's case in picture 1 , even with her eyes closed she can "see the light" so to speak.
