The passage 2012
To pass through time or space. To pass from one state to another. To pass is to change, to meet, to be involved in movement. In our movement, we give up parts of ourselves and gain new ones, we live our story whilst understanding that, in the moment we share it, it is already no longer our own, that we have gone beyond the point in which we overlapped . By meeting we get to know, surpass and realize our limits. We are put in a situation where we become aware of our own mortality, where we can feel the difference between pulse and stillness. All of these inner changes define us, they mark the reaching of a new stage, they make us human.
To pass is to be human and in our passage we name moments that alter the course of our lives. I chose to illustrate three of them: adolescence, love and death.
