2010 AD

As you may have guessed from the title there are 2010 grey squares in this image. You may have also worked out that each square is a representation of a year. In this work I want to show something incomprehensible. When viewing the image it is impossible to see 2010 individual squares, maybe one at a time, but not all of them. You see a block of squares and this is how you understand 2010 as a number you don't have the individuals in front of you just something that suggests them. The choice of representing time was created because although time gets fragmented by people into days, months or in this case years time is actually just one thing, it is not fragmented it is a line if you will. The empty space at the bottom of the image is left empty to give the impression of future, but an un-written future as if time could just stop at one of these perfect intervals never to continue.
