THE GARDEN OF GREAT IDEAS

The history of humanity is a history of progress. Technological, political, social, and emotional advancements compromise our past, define our present, and shape our future. One would like to think of progress as a direct forward motion, something that began in the distant past with the most basic steps in human development and that continues to this day, constantly gaining velocity as it races toward the future. "Condition of Man" represents motion, not as a literal spiral, but as a mobiles strip. It has no beginning or end, but consists of only one surface, acting as both a visual and symbolic representation of infinity.
