The individual’s path in itself is an illusion, a construct of our minds—a way to label our experiences. Through linear thought and time we perceive a series of moments as a life’s trajectory, nearing a destination of sorts, possibly many throughout a lifetime. Our paths are myriad-- some labeled as good and others bad. Each path, we feel, must lead to a destination where it can diverge and a decision can change the course of that path. The installation’s title, You Are Here, suggests that in actuality we have already reached our destinations, and the destination is rife with potentialities. It is only necessary to become aware that this moment is the only moment, and we arrive at our destinations again and again.

But what does it take for this moment to happen, for you to be where you are right now? If you’ve ever been in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time, you may have wondered. It could have been a series of seemingly innocuous events that directed you in another direction or decision.

By mapping our respective paths to arrive at this space, in front of this installation on this night documents a convergence of our individual physical paths. As we merge, it is my hope that we recognize the enormous capacity of this moment to be a moment of infinite potential.
