The Messenger Through The Twilights
Soil is the origin of nature earth, considered as life moisturizer’s primary source.
It also has some magical wonder in its physical state, for it can be transformed from
elasticity to the enduring rigidity by means of a particular thermal energy of the firing
process. A daily-used utensil like pottery is subsequently accepted as an efficient archeological
evidence tracing the past civilizations of each era. Within its qualities of being
a “media’’ and “message”, the ceramics are therefore the great medium as a perfect
conveyor flawlessly connecting to the future. Meanwhile, clay as a type of fine-grained
natural soil, is the beginning of this exhibition gathering five ceramic artists to convey
and create the evidence of present civilization by its magical characteristic as the origin
of life.
The end of the world resulting from the collapse of civilization frequently depicted
in almost every belief and religion since ancient times. Apparently, it was prophesied
as a destiny of mankind. It started out by manifesting forms of faith to defeat all evils.
Then the awareness was raised to reflect the impact of human endeavor to dominate
nature. Especially, the concept of Western capitalism that prevails the way of life in the
modern world by creating all kinds of facilities. However, rapid changes cause numerous
crises in different ways and tend to occur more frequently. It underscores the warning
signs of an apocalyptic fate that is coming closer to us. Or is this the reason why nature
has begun to reregulate and equilibrate a rapidly changing world?

Transition period is a connection stage that usually
occurs in a short duration. The twilight is likewise a juncture
between day and night at a time of the sun rising and setting.
When the brightness of daylight gradually turns into darkness;
it seems like a trancelike moment interrupting us so that we
begin to retrospect what we have been through and anticipate
what will happen next. Parallel stands of those phenomena
are comparable to the period of pre- and post-world ending
where these transitions cause a notion and preparation by a
slight nudge to respond to the enormous change of a new
beginning inevitably.
Human beings are part of the natural cycle yet the
defiant power beyond nature of the human spirit supremely
creates a tremendous shift to a great civilization underlying
common beliefs, such as religion, regime, culture, monetary
system and marketing. Meanwhile, conflict andcontroversy
of the ideas apparently engenders the entire evolution and innovation,
including the destruction as seen in history. However,
time travel continues to endlessly move forward. Suchness
on the wayward path of life is merely retrospecting and looking
forward to what is happening ahead, also glancing round
from where we are standing. The path may become the way to
prepare ourselves for the uncertainty in future, when the world
once again will be purified and rebalanced by nature.
Life will have begun again, since the world passes
through a great turning point of the end of civilization. Belief
and faith in the mystical powers of the new world is probably
an anchor that provides secure ground and remedy to the
fragile individual, for each can become stronger in a shorter
period of time than anything else. For typical human beings,
we always seek happiness and stability in life the same way as
other social animals do. And as long as the belief in the ideal
world remains the standard of truth, goodness, beauty, and
equality of society, the beyond blissful dream of absolute
future thus is imagined through strong ideologies and ideas in
various forms according to belief.
