All We Have is a titular phrase rendered as if to seem that the text is a-glow, or fabricated from light tubes. Where Sciascia’s other work substitutes the depiction of light in with actual light sources, the reverse is accomplished here: what seems to be genuine light on the canvas turns out to be but a mimetic representation of, a return to art historical praxis. The motif of light, of course, is conceptually tied to the artist’s abiding interest in the histories of art, technology and the natural environment.  Mixed into the textual portion of the work is an ingredient that Sciascia sometime utilizes in his work: melatonin powder. Melatonin is produced by the human body to regulate our circadian cycles and sleep, and here it emphasizes the importance of natural light - as well as its absence, a fact that dovetails with the pretense of actual light in the painting.
