fényurnális

Fényurnális is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "light journal" or "light diary." It refers to a practice of recording one's experiences and observations related to light, particularly natural light. This can encompass a wide range of phenomena, from the quality of sunlight at different times of day and year, to the patterns of shadows, the colors of the sky, and the effects of artificial illumination.

Individuals who practice or engage with the concept of a fényurnális might document the changing hues of dawn and dusk, the intensity of midday sun, or the way light filters through trees or buildings. It can also involve noting the emotional or psychological impact that different light conditions have on them. The act of keeping such a journal encourages a heightened awareness of the visual environment and the subtle yet significant role that light plays in our perception of the world.

While not a formally established scientific or artistic discipline, the concept of a fényurnális can be found in various contexts, including personal reflection, artistic inspiration, and even as a form of mindfulness practice. It emphasizes observation, sensory engagement, and a deliberate appreciation for the ephemeral nature of light. The "journal" aspect implies a personal and subjective record, making each fényurnális unique to the individual who creates it.
