WHERE ONE THING ENDS AND THE OTHER BEGINS

​

The original title of this exhibition was posed as a question: Where does one thing end and the next begin?

​

A line, in addition to being something that connects two or more points, is also a mechanism that divides one thing from another and marks their boundaries.

​

As humans, we draw lines everywhere—most of them in our minds. We divide and section the world as we perceive it in order to define it and try to understand it, to quantify it, categorize it, and make it useful to us in some way. However, these distinctions are not always as clear or sharp in reality.

The world map shows a planet split into longitudes, latitudes, and meridians—lines that represent, among other things, the segmentation of time. But there is no natural boundary between one minute and the next, just as day and night do not shift abruptly from light to darkness or vice versa. Rather, these transitions are gradual. We live in a continuous cycle of sunrises and sunsets.
