Point of Indifference

40 x 26 inches, colored pencil and graphite on paper

In this work, I tried to devise a mathematical model in which a certain quantity or both increases and decreases at the same time, achieving a state of equilibrium that demonstrates homeostasis. This model is a metaphor for the human life cycle, highlighting how we perceive our age in relation to two key points: our birth, starting at zero, and our death, an age that remains unknowable. Then, at middle age, there seems to be a moment — an indifference point — where significant psychological and emotional shifts occur, and our point of view shifts from the 0 of our birth to 100 (the number of the unknowable).
