WE ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS
“Nothing is, Everything is Becoming,” the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said. Everything in Nature is in a state of flux, as we are as humans, as is this artwork and its elements.
The piece questions the autonomy of each element of the installation and turns the initial image and composition into a family portrait of “once upon a time”. It is the artists wish to set free the units of this installation, to be decomposed or recomposed. Each member of this family is allowed to run their own life furthermore, to have their own expression and purpose, to age, to bloom.
The authorship shifts, and as so its becoming.
«Nada es, todo se convierte», dijo el antiguo filósofo griego Heráclito. Todoen la naturaleza está en constante cambio, al igual que nosotros, los seres humanos, y al igual que esta obra de arte y sus elementos.
La obra cuestiona la autonomía de cada elemento de la instalación y convierte la imagen y la composición inicial en una foto familiar de «érase una vez». Es deseo de la artista liberar las unidades de esta instalación para que puedan descomponerse o recomponerse. Cada miembro de esta familia se le permite llevar su propia vida, tener su propia expresión y propósito, envejecer y florecer.
La autoría cambia y así, su devenir.
