The Secret
Language is a key mode of communication amongst humans, an indispensible tool for mankind. Yet despite the array of languages available across the globe, every so often words fail to communicate to the other party, the concept or the meaning it is used for. We understand that there is a verbal, written, readable language, however there appears to be a gap between language and meaning.
In this artwork titled 'The Secret', I am using written language in the form of a poem, written as a dialogue with the mirror in order to reveal the secret of the image reflected on it. The mirror is an extremely desirable object in ones life, be it a woman or man's. It can almost be considered essential, much like language. Anyone who stands before a mirror in an attempt to read the visual language of the reflected image, will be trying to read his or her inner self which the visual language is unable to transmit. It is difficult to understand this work without the aid of the poem, as the missing meaning in the language and the image forms the secret which humans are continuously searching for.
