Clockwise, Counterclockwise

What is normality? What is normality in all these abnormalities? What is this old-normal that we believe we once had? What is the new-normal that we are longing for? Does it even exist? 

Time only moves clockwise, so we need to leave the past behind in order to move forward. This is what our society keeps telling us, however, the present and the future cannot exist without the past. It would be nice if while we are moving forward, we can interpret moving counterclockwise as revisiting and learning from the past. 

I would like to invite visitors to slow down for a moment, interact with my works, and observe their motions, not unlike when we are looking at the clock, observing time passes by.  

Maybe we might have left the normality we yearned for behind, or maybe it never existed in the first place. So, let us ask ourselves this simple question “What exactly is normal?”
