The story inside Tomorrow's Weight
I imagined a person carrying a future that never becomes present. The stone on the back is not only burden. It is also the idea of tomorrow when it grows too large and starts directing a life. I placed the signpost close by because I wanted that small word, tomorrow, to feel almost cruel in its simplicity. The figure keeps walking, but not freely. Even hope has become weight. Milan Kundera wrote about the tension between lightness and weight, and that stayed with me while making this piece. We often think tomorrow will save us, justify us, or finally complete us. But the more we live inside that promise, the more the present dries out beneath our feet.
