Exhibition Statement

Light reveals the shadow;
and only in complete darkness does light gather meaning.
At times, we become quietly aware—
the world around us is built on opposing truths that coexist,
each valid, each incomplete.
Antinomy brings together eight photographic artists,
each with a distinct sensibility,
to engage in a silent dialogue of images—
where contradictions speak,
and arrangements of visual tension offer new ways of seeing.

A map is never the land it depicts,
yet it carries the echo of its structure.
The numbers in a bank account cannot measure the fullness of a life.
Images, thoughts, and words
constantly challenge what we call real,
offering routes toward reinterpretation—
toward renewal.

This exhibition takes the human presence as its starting point:
to explore the fragile balance between opposites,
the harmony between self and other,
the soft edges where order meets chaos,
the imagination of presence and absence,
the quiet turning of life into death, and back again.

The challenge of individual thought lies not in choosing sides,
but in how we notice,
how we reflect,
how we return something of ourselves in response.
