Hojan: The Visible Range Is Not Wide Enough

12 September - 12 October 2024 YIRI ARTS

When sensation occurs, our perception processes all sensory stimuli and converts them into a form of energy the brain can understand, thus activating cognitive abilities. However, to make sense of the complicated world, it is easy for us to fall into the mindset of binary oppositions. In such dichotomies, anything not good is considered bad. Yet, between good and bad, many possibilities exist—not quite good and not quite bad, not good enough or not bad enough. In fact, our daily life experiences tend to linger between these two opposites. It seems that we can sense many things, but there are far more areas that make no sense to us.

 

What the eyes can see is limited, and this limited range encompasses one's mind, the dark side of oneself, the unknown, contradictions, absurdities, and all the undefined, ambiguous situations. Within this range, the ineffable, shifting moments, or differences of feelings  caused by varying points of view, are parts that we can see but cannot fully comprehend. Many seemingly opposing things are not so different or unchanging; truth and variability intertwine, forming a potential reality that we can experience.
