Rather than depicting the state of the world in 2026 as a literal map, I wanted to portray the "distance" between events unfolding simultaneously within the same world. Red represents war, conflict, anger, and sudden change. Blue represents everyday life and silence continuing elsewhere, far from those events. Yellow represents a future that has not yet been decided. It can appear as hope, or as a warning. It may be the light of recovery, or the beginning of another period of turmoil. That is why yellow is not used to represent the present, but as the possibility of something yet to come. The fractured black forms may resemble nations or borders, but they were never intended to form a complete map. What caught my attention was that while something immense may be happening somewhere in the world, elsewhere people are eating, sleeping, going to work, and reaching the end of another ordinary day as if nothing had happened. The gray-white space spreading across the center of the work represents the "distance" between these realities. It is not only a physical distance. It is also the distance between knowing that something is happening and actually feeling it. Red is what is happening. Blue is what continues despite it. Yellow is what has not yet been decided. And what interested me most was the ambiguous space between them — a place that does not completely belong to any one color. That is where the world of 2026 seemed to be. MORA / 2026 There is always something there.
