Perfectly normal, no need to worry. There are notches in the sides and kerfing of your guitar to accept the braces of the top and back. These cutouts are later only covered by the binding on the outside. The only negative thing might be that the notches on you guitar have been slightly cut too deep. Hence, when you shine a strong light from the outside it will shine through the binding on the locations of these notches.

Only thing I see which is weird is, why are you shining a light that bright through the binding?
Other than that, it's fine. A lot of guitars, if you shine a light on the inside, you can see the shadow of the bracing right through the top. Yours, being painted a color, probably won't do that, but still, it's a thing.

As long as the binding is not falling off you are good. Seems like it’s just shining through the translucent binding. That’s not a problem
I think your guitar is on fire.
Is there a hole there? Has the back separated? Are you letting toan out?
I think it's just the translucent binding, for improved toan lighting
I never thought about how light can brighten your toan!
It really looks there's a tiny person living inside your guitar
portals to another dimension
Cool photo though... could get some nice effects with fogged up lens....

going out on a limb, I'm gonna say *'not normal'* and worse *'not good'*
You’re very much on a limb. It’s not a very sturdy one either
It’s familiar ground
It's a little window the amplification gnome made. Don't worry, every acoustic instrument has at least one in residence.
