Finitude

This piece brings the concept of finitude into being - not as an abstract idea, but as a lived condition. It is concerned with how the awareness of limits shapes behaviour in the present, compressing choice, heightening intensity, and making deferral feel increasingly untenable. Finitude here operates as a psychological driver: the condition that turns possibility into action.

The work is constructed through layered fields of violet, purple, blue and red. Through their interaction, an optically mixed blue emerges - not introduced as a reference, but formed through accumulation, overlap, and constraint. What appears unified is the result of multiple finite actions, each asserting presence and leaving a trace.

At the shortest wavelength of visible light, blue marks where perception reaches its limit. Here, finitude is not represented - it is enacted. The emergent blue resists sharp definition, holding the surface in a state of restraint where clarity cannot be extended indefinitely.

Each layer in the work occupies space, sets a boundary, and limits what can follow. Where colours meet, new tones arise through proximity and energy. Meaning is generated not through expansion, but through containment.

Finitude reflects a contemporary condition in which awareness of limitation accelerates experience rather than diminishes it. When time is understood as bounded, the present acquires weight. Attention sharpens, choice becomes consequential, and action moves forward not from recklessness, but from recognition.

The viewer is not asked to reflect on finitude from outside the work, but to encounter it directly - as the quiet principle beneath modern urgency, and the force that renders being deliberate unavoidable.
