I noticed that there is a contrast between the internal structure and external structure. While the external structure conveys a sense of complexity and deep biblical meaning. From the outside, the light create the shadows and a sense of depth to all the statues and carvings. There is a sense of awe, but it is cold and forbidding. Internally, the light warmly diffuses over the arching ceiling and grand columns. The light from the stained glass windows shine a wide variety of colors, both warm and cold, creating a multifaceted explosion of colors. The sense of awe that the interior instills is more approachable, giving the audience a sense of wonder after the imposing exterior.
