Fragments of Existence

Perception constructs meaning arising from the interaction between parts and the whole. Modern experience is a fragmented construct, inundated with information, losing the coherence and collapsing in communication. Being is revealed and concealed through familiar and alien experience, like the constant oscillation between comprehension and enigma, connecting to the soil, vitality and renewal. One substance underlies all existence where everything is embedded, and void is an essential aspect of existence.
