“Shaping a Passing Moment”
In a world where time slips away like sand through our fingers, Tina Sookazi seeks to capture the fleeting essence of each passing moment through the series Shaping a Passing Moment. Inspired by the medieval understanding of time – where hours were not measured in minutes but through the subtle dance of shadows on a sundial – she explores the transient nature of existence.
The artist’s practice is dedicated to capturing the ephemeral and the almost imperceptible through minimalist abstract printmaking art. The interplay between printing plate, material, and surface forms a visual language that expresses this delicate, momentary quality. Tonality and shadow intertwine to create subtle forms, playfully interrupted by spaces and edges. These compositions serve as a mirror to the ever-shifting nature of human consciousness, inviting reflection on emotions that often go unspoken and stories that remain untold.
Each work within this series reflects a temporary state, much like a fleeting mood or the transient nature of being. The arrangement of marks becomes a synonym for personal experience, an embodiment of the beauty found in impermanence. Through this work, the artist highlights the profound significance of what is short-lived, emphasizing the depth and complexity of human experience.
Ultimately, this artistic exploration presents time not as a linear force but as a series of fragmented, interconnected experiences, each moment a quiet yet profound manifestation of shared existence.
