In Bouquet IX, we’re not taken to a distant past. We ponder everything related to the color white, and for that task, we don’t travel very far back. History becomes as short as our memory. All that we’ve touched and can remember becomes history. In fact, it’s the rapid recording and judgment of events in the digital world of today that erases our need to refer to a distant history. Now, history is our experience./// Bouquet IX refers to today’s social interpretations of the color white, which inevitably slides back toward the past, like a snowball rolling on snow, attaching itself to more snow on the way and becoming bigger.
