Reading as Temporal Synthesis

Description

Reading as Temporal Synthesis portrays the act of reading as a weaving together of times. Every page carries echoes of the past, impressions of the present, and anticipations of the future, binding them into a single experience of thought.

The composition fractures the space into sharp planes, each inscribed with temporal markers. A solitary figure reads at the center, surrounded by words like past, present, future, enduring, and ephemeral, emphasizing how literature inhabits multiple layers of time at once.

Displayed in a study or library, the work stands as a reminder that reading is never confined to a single moment. It shows how the act of reading bridges temporalities, drawing what has been written into the flow of what is still unfolding.
