Exist Within Your Timeline #2Braille engraved plastic sign Miguel Cortez, 2007Series statement I’ve always wondered about humanity’s never ending quest to define existence throughout the ages via religion or philosophy and I started asking myself these questions back in May: Where was I before I was born? We are born on such a year and then die on such a year in linear time. Did our consciousness/soul exist before and will it exist after? Or are we limited to exist just in our designated timeline? From these questions arose this series of artwork.
