While dreaming or in deep relaxation, the subconscious mind
takes centre stage and analyses the most surreal thoughts. In the work ‘Subconscious
Singularity’, I have developed the idea of ‘M - theory’,
and introduced a corresponding idea of how the Parallel Worlds can unite.
The subconscious mind is where memories, desires and attributes are stored.
It is where logical reasoning is disengaged and where creative energies can
be tapped into. The subconscious essence in the painting is connecting the
Parallel Worlds together. The three Parallel realities connect due to the
similar thought patterns, while in subconscious thought. The three females
may be having the same dream as they are the same person, although they have
there slight differences. This subconscious connection has brought the three
realities together and caused the collision that we are witnessing.
The Parallel worlds seem to be cut out or zoomed in from a
distance. This is to heighten the awareness that you the viewer are witnessing
an event of colliding membranes in higher dimensional space out side the three
Universes’.
There are perspective cues joining towards central vanishing points. This
represents space and time compressed into infinity. At the centre of the vanishing
point is singularity, where all space, time, mass, light and energy is broken
down to absolute zero. ‘M- Theory’ speculates that in the event
of Parallel Worlds colliding the result would be a singularity.
“Linde criticized this model because anything so catastrophic as the
collision of two Universes might create a singularity, where temperatures
and densities approach infinity” (1)
The painting explores both creation and death, in the sense of new realities
being exposed and the realisation of ‘M - Theory’. The painting
explores death by suggesting singularity after the event, where all space
- time is broken down.
