We are born into this world with,
unquestionably, no knowledge of any aspects of life- organically and neutrally
constructed. Our life begins to play out and structures are brought upon us
that we could not yet possibly have the means to evaluate or reflect on. As we
grow we conform to these teaching that have been forced upon us: these
teachings are to be the foundations of how we now live our lives.
As we remain the passive bystanders
disillusioned by each other’s presuppositions; we begin to lose ourselves,
becoming just another obscured face. Deceived by life’s pleasures and
sensualities we are happy to remain ignorant of our indefinite essence, finding
it easier carry on with the convenience of the everyday life - we are the
universal victims of despair.
The work here offers us a sight
of the space in which we, in the physical sense, ‘exist’. In the presence of
something earthly and the surroundings of the eternal, we subside in this liminal
space between consciously existing and non-existence
from the moment we are born, condemned to it while also obligated to be free
from it. Condemned because we are all born neutrally and then corrupted.
Obligated because we are primitively constructed as ourselves, to become
ourselves.
We must now begin to choose, for
ourselves as individuals, what it is we want to believe, to become, to do and
to see; with no pre-conditioned or pre-existent element of choice, or we will
forever dwell in the liminal shadows of nothingness.
