Proximal is defined as closest to a center, implying that there is always a sense of direction and a fluid boundary in between. Imminent Encounter celebrates the revealed boundaries that have occurred in life. Light always provokes curiosity, with different revealing levels of light at all angles. The curve and implied swirl push the mind to wonder: what exactly is this light source like? With uncertainty and distance, beauty is created in the imagination shared between strangers and bystanders alike. Immersed together briefly in this moment of softness, there is an intimacy that rare among strangers. Imminent encounter as a device reminds us that we are not together, as a metaphor, everything most beautiful happens on the way.
