METAPHORS OF THE PRESENT

The awareness of our transient condition offers only a partial account of the state of things, as the flow of our thoughts carries us toward directions that exist only within the mind: the future and the past. With every passing instant, the present slips into the past, while a fraction of the future materializes into present reality.

Through time, we come to understand the phenomena that appear before us; it is a necessary framework, without which the succession of events could not be perceived.

We interpret reality through a system of abstractions, such as names, but things do not exist merely because they are named. Names conceal actions, experiences, thoughts, and ideas that extend beyond the perception of time.

I seek to capture the material consistency of time: a form of meditation on its true existence, an attempt to give corporeality to its intangible nature and render it concrete.
