Hydra
acrylic on canvas, 2015, 41 x 33 cm

The painting is based on an image taken by New Horizons' LORRI instrument on July 14, 2015, from a distance of approximately 231,000 kilometers (143,000 miles). Hydra, one of Pluto's tiny moons, measures 43 × 33 kilometers (27 × 20 miles). Until its discovery in 2005, Hydra was known only as a fuzzy dot of uncertain shape and size.

This is about the middle part that is usually dull; about what is extreme and what's in between; about the relations that penetrate, attract and repulse; about the impermanence and the harmony; about the unity; about taking masters at their word; about not taking masters at their word; about trillions of billions; about breathing in, taking steps and breathing out; about the cosmos being a cosmos; about the road; about the humming noise and the frontier; about here and now and there and then; about the cosmos not being a cosmos; about the rivalry; about what is straight and what is bent; about waiting and being disappointed; about the quality and the disease; about free falling and enjoying; about how it was and how it will be; about the beginning.

Two options. You choose one, you lose the other. You choose both, you end up with nothing.

There and then

What was once here is no more. Vanished — or so it seems — yet still written in your memory, in your body, it glimmers in your mind, obscuring what is. And thus, what is now does not suffice. Constantly shredded and compared to what once was. For the ghost of the past still lingers in memory, and the more you try to forget, the more you remember.
