00:00Here, this is something almost surrealistic. This is something that we cannot really understand,

00:21but we know we see it. And this idea of believing in something a little bit more than what we have

00:28right here is just so important. The way we are losing hope, or losing faith, or losing the

00:35conviction that believing in something is important. So I think this exhibition here,

00:39and the way I use polarized light, is very much about just seeing what is behind our capacity of

00:45seeing. So essentially, it's not just about polarized light. It's about seeing something

00:50that we cannot believe. It's about surprises. It's about also embracing the fact that sometimes

00:56right outside of what we actually know, there's something that is amazing. There's something that

01:02is an opportunity. There's a window of opportunity to be won. The climate, for instance. In this

01:07particular world, there is wind. And if you look carefully, it is almost like a wave from the ocean,

01:14right? We are standing on a beach. This is a wave of light coming against us, right? I give you the

01:20choice. You can choose if you see plastic or if you see nature. It is also a fact that nature,

01:28as it is, is not nature anymore. We know that the climate crisis and global warming,

01:32nature has become culture a long time ago. There is nowhere on the world where nature is not influenced

01:38by human activities. So there is that question, too. What is in fact nature? What is left of it?

01:44And is it going to survive?

02:14What is it?

02:17It is going to survive!

02:21So in fact, we're Aggrais Island.

02:33I do a nice world of all my life.

02:36You

02:37do a great future world that's fighting for priority in your heart.

02:38I know I have aünkig Victoria, I have to use everywhere else you do.

02:40It does a lot of deserve.

02:42It is mea mannish사.
