The Infinitesimal Man and his Ephemeral Existence

Jay Payton

Jan 11 – Feb 18 · Chinatown

An exhibition of paintings dedicated to furthering an understanding of Man and his position within the ecosystem he has created for himself. Through conquest and conquering From love and war No matter where man places his efforts during his time in this moment, he must understand he is not infinite. No more than a dust particle in a bed of salt Not to be confused with purposelessness His influence can be such that, through the histories of the future, many remember and value his efforts Or Others may see him as a danger to the society of his time There is a great power within the human experience Greater than any degree of life within the universe that can be measured today Power + Responsibility = ? The equation we as a species, society, community, have yet to solve Luckily for us, a new day is an opportunity to consider what yesterday failed to bring to our attention But We must work with haste Because tomorrow is not guaranteed
