Multiverse

Multiverse invites the viewer into a shadowy, liminal realm anchored by a mysterious café that glows in the dark like a portal. Its neon sign pulses with an emblem: a swirling vortex nested within the pages of a book an homage to imagined dimensions and nonlinear time. This café is not just a place it is a threshold. A gateway between timelines, between parallel selves, between possible lives.

Parked just outside, a DeLorean DMC-12 quietly rests a direct nod to Back to the Future, grounding this otherworldly scene with a cinematic reference that further deepens the narrative of time travel and alternate realities. It suggests that journeys taken from this place are not purely metaphorical they are visceral, perhaps even tangible.

Echoing the dreamlike narrative of The Midnight Library, visitors who step into Multiverse can drift across alternate realities. Transparent, hologram-like figures appear at the entrance and on a nearby benchmeditating, waiting, dissolving each representing a traveler who has shed their physical form to navigate the folds of time and space. The boundaries between being and becoming blur as they traverse inner and outer worlds.

The work meditates on multiverse theory, time travel, and metaphysical departure, drawing the viewer into a visual paradox where presence and absence coexist, and where the self is no longer singular, but infinite in possibility.
