“The Beekeeper”

The skeptics have always resorted to a sense of suspension in the face of any confrontation between sensations and perceptions, which can neither be abandoned nor denied. It was seen not merely as a kind of negligence but as an experience of possibility (potentiality); i.e., anything that falls within the coordinates of existence and non-existence, sensible and tangible, and the word “object.” Potentiality is inextricably linked to a lack thereof, so not being able is a deprivation, contrary to being able. This project is an attempt to read/suspend the actions of a subject who is detached from his or her disability and constantly overlooks it; not in the sense that it is able of inability.
