The Door - Open Space - Sealed Time - Gaze

At the state of concentration so strong that the self-identity is at the danger of being extinct, or at the coexisting moment of seeing with own eyes while being unable to trust what is presented and felt at that moment, a man experiences being in the place beyond time and space. My attention is on the moment of ereignis, the moment of dimension opening up while standing in the emotional state that is greater than myself. All the visualizations represents where my sights and thoughts rests within that dimension. Every moment, the nature changes. Every moment, the nature exits. Some times it is an object of sublimity, making man realize the form of existence before the nature. One day, a big tree in the cold forest stood amidst damp and cool air, possessing the beauty, sadness, and peace, all at the same time. The place was no more real, encouraging the desire to endlessly rest in that dimension where the emotion is in the reach of sublime. The scenery was presented before my eyes, but the scene was not exactly the same as it was presented to me, evoking the question whether if what I am seeing is exactly what I desire to see. So the drawing repeatedly paints about the things unseen with an incomplete sight of emotional state which occurs before perceiving the existence. As my sight crosses over the actuality and ideality, the solid structures of the painting are crushed and smudged at the tip of a finger or a tool before the paints dry, creating not the objects but the image of flowing the actuality. In accordance with essential reasoning of human nature, when we penetrated into the deeper inside with a certain reasoning, we end up in our own independent space within ourselves. This place is not only within ourselves but is proceeding to the dimension beyond ours, beyond our limited space, leading us to the road to find the answer to our ontological question. This space indicates not the empty space that can be occupied with free will, but the space on the other side of the opened door existing for the spontaneously aroused reasoning to cross over. In other words, the subject stand right ‘here’, representing ‘my’ perspective starting at the ‘open space’ tough the door chink. Fundamentally, human beings do not directly face the actuality. Actual entity is distanced from he ideal entity, and the representation of this space begins at the perspective of the self. The perspective is never objective, but described from the objective view point of an observer. This task is like preparing an archive of the perspective of self, collected during the poetic moments witnessed while standing in the ‘open space’ and witnessing all the poetic moments, just like a little child pulling the cloth of the person standing with him when he witnessed something surprising,
