Let us imagine that the universe (I mean all existing matter and space taken as a whole) is a Möbius strip, but thicker, or rather, let us imagine that the universe is a Möbius doughnut. But if that doughnut were to stretch or break, perhaps you could glimpse the self that exists in a parallel universe, the parallel you, at a different time in your life, doing something different.
This is the theme of the exhibition.
As I write forwards, you paint backwards; one day we will meet.
