Less Is More

Challenge #18 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

A minimalism is an art style characterized by the smallest number of components used, ideally only two: a background and a little something. Such a concept favors clear simplicity and pleasant layout, conveying visual statements which usually can be contained within a singe word. So say it with Light! (But before you do, PLEASE read the rules...)
