The Blanc We Arrive At
by Reiko Murakami
Paired with a piece called “The Blanc We Begin With”, this piece explores the idea one’s life begins and ends in the same state: nothingness. The inspiration for this series is how sometimes patients with dementia end up losing their ability to speak a second language, as if they are rolling back to the original state in language when they reach the end of their life. Learning this shocked me, being a bilingual person living in a foreign country. Part of me celebrates the momental beauty of life, as described in the concept of Japanese philosophy of mono no aware, but at the same time other side of me wants to believe the blanc we might end up with at the end is still some kind of achievement.
