“At my feet burns my past above me, through the fog shines the indecipherable future.”
The artwork, rooted in the evocative phrase from Vissarion Belinski, becomes a meditation on the inevitable flow of time, with each digital print symbolizing a distinct phase of life. The child's image, progressively distorted through digital glitches, mirrors the fragmentation of memory and self as we age. The black paper framing the first and last stages suggests the opacity of life's origin and conclusion, while the more intensely glitched middle stages embody the instability of the later years, when clarity fades, and identity dissolves into the unknowable future. The work invites reflection on the fragility of existence and the complexities of memory as it unravels, like the hazy boundary between past and future.
