Crossing situates itself at the threshold between light and body, presence and transformation. At its core, the work is an X intersecting with itself—a doubled axis, a doubled possibility. The form recalls both a mark of negation and a sign of convergence, reminding us that to cross is to both leave behind and to arrive.

Emerging from the void, beams of light open a portal that is neither stable nor still. The haze surrounding it thickens the air, catching and scattering the light into shifting veils, so what first appears as sharp geometry dissolves into fluid movement. In this atmosphere, the light feels almost tactile, rendering the act of passing through not just visual but bodily.

The journey through is both disorienting and magnetic. From a distance, the X radiates with clarity, but closely, the boundaries blur and multiply, until orientation falters and immersion takes hold. The haze erases depth, making each step feel suspended between the real and the imagined.

The X holds multiplicities: it is an intersection of paths, a crossing-out of what was, and a sign of becoming more. Within the doubled form lies the duality of experience and each step through the beams is a negotiation of this duality, a decision to embrace disorientation as a form of renewal.

Yet the crossing is only the beginning. Beyond the portal, a barge waits in shadow, suspended between water and sky. Within its hull, hidden installations stir, glowing fragments of other dimensions that reveal themselves. The X prepares the body for this encounter, stripping away certainty, opening the senses, so that entry into the barge feels less like walking into a structure and more like slipping into a dream.

Here, art becomes not an object but a realm, unfolding in whispers and intensities.
