In Nature’s Time Capsule, three large works of paper explore the part that the natural still holds within our technological environment. The artist placed a silicone cast of a floor outside her studio in the mountains in Lebanon and has kept it for determined periods of time, letting the pine needles from the surrounding pine trees fall onto its surface. After a specific number of days, Aoun would press paper pulp onto the surface, creating an imprint marking the accumulation of foliage specific to a duration. The final result looks like fossil, suggesting a time in the future when paper will become obsolete, and the idea that nature is continuously under threat.
By exploring the verifiable points after which a set or system begins to behave in a different manner, one cannot help but wonder how many points of singularity are currently causing a change that is beneficial or detrimental to us? The exhibition brings us back to the only time-space continuum that is available to us, which is the present moment. When you surrender to what is, the past loses its influence, and the current moment becomes the only thing that matters, a sort of timelessness in the present.
