“When the review of an instant arises in its motions, time races, space multiplies, and the moment is stripped into hundreds of simultaneous stimuli.
Where some seek a printed record of specific occurrences or a faithful representation of static reality, there is a fluid sea of tides and undertows. Life unfolds in a cubicle of time and space, and it is only the sum of its parts that articulates its relentless flow.
Destiny is mediated by intuition, and the gesture, in its boldness, hurls itself onto the canvas, manifesting its unpredictable imprint. With awe and intrigue, it is corrected, layered, and accumulated, while simultaneously dissolving its depth into the axiomatic, reductive starting point.
What then occurs is what physics has established as “momentum,” all that motion invited to express itself in a fragment of life. It demonstrates with vaporous honesty that, contrary to the linear geometry of our expectations, existence meanders freely between moments of calm reflection and furious impulsivity.
This exhibition, through each of its pieces, honors the impossibility of reducing our existence to rigidity and inertia. It stimulates thought, ignites the enduring hope of action, and invites us to find, in each of its nuances, infinite journeys. For only in this boundless nature lies the opportunity to discover glimpses of truth in the pulse of a second, in the present, and in existence.
