All of us are bearers of time - times experienced and recounted, read and desired. Existing and occurring in the here and now is what legitimizes the present, which - on the surface - can appear as an open or closed entity. In reality, however, every one of us in the present is a collage formed of various elements of experience. Our continuous, linear-temporal actions result in both successive and parallel aspects in the synchronism of assembled fragments and forms consisting of memories and political, social, and cultural perspectives. Thought constructs of different mass and content - similar to plastic shapes - rub up against one another at different speeds.
In the concurrence of asynchrony, we lose ourselves only to find and redefine ourselves
anew.
