Sefer ha-Bahir · Passage 01

Light and Concealment

Overlapping black cloud masses conceal a distant light; a narrow gold opening and reflected beam show that the light remains present. — Light remains present behind the covering. Concealment changes what can be seen, not whether the light exists.

The image and its source

A passage, in another form.

A narrow opening of gold crosses an immense dark covering. The light is present even where it cannot be seen.

How do I receive the artwork?

After payment, Gumroad provides download access and emails a receipt with a link to your files. Your ZIP contains the original PNG, four print layouts in both PDF and JPEG, a printing guide, and personal-use terms—11 files in all. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder or contact Aleph with your receipt.

What should I know before printing?

Use the PDF for your paper size and print in landscape at “Actual size” or 100%. The 4×5, 3×4, and 2×3 files describe the paper ratio; the complete wide image sits within a white border. A5 has a wider border around the same 5.5-inch-wide image. If your printer needs to resize, choose “fit,” not “fill,” to avoid cropping. These are small prints, not large poster masters. Paper, printer, and screen settings affect the final color and dark tones.

What can I do with the download?

Display the artwork on your own devices or make prints for your own space. The purchase does not include permission to redistribute the file, resell prints, or use the artwork commercially. The imagery was developed with image-generation tools under Aleph’s art direction.
