NEW GRAMMAR, Alice Ahad, Embroidery on linen canvas, 2018

Referential images of words are mutated beings.

Language kills becoming because it is a code that names and defines.

Language kills becoming because it defines the living and the transformation.

It is a paradox that determines what is alive and thus loses its meaning, creating illusory and already lost images.

TO LIVE IS TO BECOME, BUT IF WE ARE, WE WILL

NOT BE.

Some examples of a language that does not kill:

Past: I am, because I have passed and I was someone

I am not now.

Present: ( – – – – ), moment of formation.

Future: Want/Will, it is aspiration to a definition.
