Open / Closure

What we perceive and experience as the world, is an object that misleads, confuses and contains, a maze. 
But then again, isn't it situations and circumstances, rather than environment and space, that entrap one? 

Personal relationships becoming metaphors in objects, trapped or even displaced and put on display, offer opportunities to realise the limitations of your own imagination, ready to be challenged on a wild chase down a rabbit hole.

You, the viewer, are offered a play of juxtapositions, relationships and readings of viewpoints.

But there is a catch – you have to want to see it. It's your choice.

Open / Closure, picturing a subjectively viewed Chinese landscape, states the contradiction – the chance to see and use the end of one part of life experience, closure on a section lived and reviewed, to then become the open space for further exploration, the next step into a newly realised and found direction or place, all in a world that just doesn't quite make sense.
