In the end, we lose the ability to see ourselves. We’re too rooted in a pattern, searching fruitlessly for feelings. There is a conflict between clarity and ambiguity, closeness and distance.

About

This duality, reflected in our contemporary experience, where we're bombarded with stimuli without fully understanding anything. Creates confusion and dilutes our hope. The connection between an idea and its action can feel close whilst just out of reach, and nothing makes sense to us anymore.

We formed our initial impressions based on silhouettes, outlines, and assumptions. We strayed off course somewhere along the way, so much so that now, up close, these impressions unraveled, revealing complexities we had not even known were there. Observations, omissions, and choices. An invisible part that gradually unveiled itself. The distant silhouette carries a rich, intricate history that suggests a need for closeness, yet it is moving further away. The realisation has come too late, in a haze, and once again, it brings us back to our solitude.
