The bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of insight into the inner world and the outer world. It deals with their relationship. The ideological basis is the philosophical concepts of immanence and transcendence, the principle of penetration from within and the principle of transcending. The work is based on the symbolism of the window as the border between the two worlds. It is an artistic installation, which works with optics using dichroic film, which is a material that treats the refraction of light in thin layers. The resulting installation is related to the surrounding environment and responds to its lighting conditions. It opens the depth of the inner penetrating dimensions and at the same time presents the transcendental character of light. There is an interplay of transparency, bending and reflection, in which the observer participates specifically according to his position and angle of view.
