The End is Near
Daniel Aligaen
February 6 to 25, 2021
“The world evades us and becomes itself again.” A dictum proclaimed by Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus. A statement that reveals the primitive hostility of the world – a world not of glorious splendor but a world filled with mystery that is indifferent to the suffering of its people.”
In The End is Near, Aligaen brings forth an observation to the common stock of suffering under a pandemic. It is a statement on people’s suffering as a loss of freedom and movement, personal identity, and worst of all, humanity. In spite of this, Aligaen confers that amidst the pain, torment, and the disarray brought about by the pandemic, people seem to exhibit unfaltering courage and strength.
