The word réflet is closely aligned to réfléchir - a point of concentrated thought which leads to introspection and meditation. Reflective thoughts can derive from encoded or stored memories, which are recalled. Because light reflections such as water, can sometimes be obscured by surface disturbances and literally disappear from sight, they create associations with the lapsing, waning and recall of memory. Another associated word réfléter is often used to describe the mirroring of something or someone. In the sense that light reflections mirror that which is reflected, a solipsistic dialogue is established between the reflected and the reflection which sets up associations of réfléchir. These multiple meanings reside for me, in the phenomological observation of light reflections.
