THE INFINITE LABYRINTH

THE INFINITE LABYRINTH
by Sarah Maria Scicluna

Opening on 18th August, 7,30pm

This body of work explores the intricacies of our desires, aspirations, and the often elusive nature of our dreams. By creating complex structures constructed from thousands of lines, the artist’s aim is to capture the essence of an intangible concept: the unreachable castle of “The Castle” by Franz Kafka, which serves as the main source of inspiration for this work. The castle in the novel represents an unattainable goal, an elusive destination that forever haunts the protagonist, as well as the reader. It embodies a seemingly endless labyrinth of bureaucracy, uncertainty, and delusion.
Each line becomes a path, a possibility, an illusion, a knot that cannot be untangled. As these lines intertwine and weave together, they form labyrinthine structures that mirror the intricate architecture of our own desires. They become the mazes we create, the mental constructs we navigate, and the illusions we sometimes mistake for reality.
In a world where the unattainable often captivates us, these structures serve as visual metaphors, becoming the delicate balance between what we covet and the harsh realities that often hinder their realization.
The works were created using pen on paper and a pen plotter, enabling the creation of precise lines and complex forms. Ultimately, this work is an invitation to embrace the uncertainty, confront the delusions we encounter, and seek meaning within our existence’s labyrinth.

The exhibition runs from 18th August until 10th September.
