I'm drawn to exploring the invisible relationships between past and future, between here and elsewhere. My focus is on what cannot be seen '' on escaping the limits of how we perform time and space, and on shifting perspective.

Quantum physics guesses that everything is nothing Þan until balance tips and symmetry breaks, giving rise to something. Imbalance moves us forward. We can see what is there, and we can sense what is missing, what is not there.

Reality is not fixed 'it is a concept or at least a probability. A shifting potential rather than a stable ground. In mathematics, we encounter the same paradox: the unknown, represented as an abstract variable, allows us to calculate meaning. Yet numbers themes don't exist; they are abstract concepts 'SHAPes without bodies.

And the way I see the world is never a true reflection of it. My perception is displayed by what is visible, but also by what is absent [ing] and nothing defining the lines my mind cannot cross. Our eyes aren't built to witness the past; we really on memory instead. And though memory is subjective and ever-changing, it remains the thing we most trust. Well (except for emotions. Emotions, combined with our senses, shape how we perceive re. What we care about apps larger.

Still, we cannot truly see what yesterday looked like ', and perhaps that doesn't matter. The mind feels far more comfortable imagining tomorrow and digging through what-ifs.
