    Verheyen was an adherent of dialectics, a form of reasoning that uses argument and counter-argument to arrive at insight. He philosophised, for example, about the empty and the full, black and white, dark and light, local and universal, day and night...

    This screen represents his thought strategy. Verheyen compares the eternal rhythm of day and night to the 'breath of life'.
