Statement/
This is a choice—
a conscious, courageous decision to stand at the edge of time;
to dwell on the threshold between darkness and light.
In this choice, light stands for the past— a haven we already know, a space where the eye sees and the mind believes that no other truth is possible.
A predetermined path for survival. Yet darkness signifies the future— a vast, unknowable land, filled with questions and uncertainty.
To live in the light, by it being past, invites acceptance, repetition, and inertia.
But darkness, by its being future, demands motion, risk, uncertainty, and a restless pursuit of answers.
Standing at the edge of time is a difficult choice between accepting reality and seeking the truth, an unending struggle between dominant narratives and the spirit of inquiry.
It is a choice that means turning your back on the light and facing the dark—a decision that comes at the cost of what is already accepted, to surrender to the unknown, to scatter sparks of light in the hope of discovering a new understanding of the world— and to expand the boundaries of illumination.
