HUMAN BELIEF COLLISION PORTALS: THE NIGHT BEFORE CAIRO AND THE DISSOLUTION OF LONG HARDENED BELIEFS IN AN EVENING
250 cm wide x 170 cm tall
Acrylic on canvas with florescent and UV lights Human belief collision portals is about the influences cities have on one's beliefs and the power they have to push and morph people. It is about the human ability to change long hardened beliefs in the span of minutes or hours. It is about migrating from one city to another and the changes that come with it. These changes are depicted through the lens of an evening in February 2023 when I felt like I was moving through a series of intersecting portals of beliefs, emerging elsewhere with a different set of beliefs. The painting maps chronological events of the evening to a left-to-right storyline. Automated interval lighting switches between normal and UV light. The two lighting states bring out the two views of the painting, one with acrylic painting the other with phosphorescent and fluorescent paint.
