“Behind pain, over sadness and tears, in the same time, we realize the meaning of life”
We cannot deny that in our life, we face many different stories and circumstances, our highest ups and our lowest downs, but it all goes like our steps that only moves forward and never backwards. In the smooth path, we may encounter pain and might be needing some pause or a break, but as we look back and reflect on the pain we felt, we will discover something new.
“The Pain to Being…” exhibition is like a long story of pain illustrated by each artist. Pain can become a stimulation and over time discovers that it has crystallized into something becoming the artworks in this exhibition. Each artist may have a different perception of pain but all still connected by the feeling of pain. Even though over time, the pain may remain, fade or disappear, but we cannot deny that it would still leave a scar. Therefore, leads to the question; what can pain ‘become’ and what can we discover from its remaining sediments.
