It’s November in Beijing. The three of us use painting as a medium to tell parallel stories about the fragile stability of our lives. Philosopher Martin Heidegger suggests the idea of dwelling, and care; The liminal oscillator dwells in perpetual threshold—never fully arriving, never entirely leaving. Yet even in flux, care persists.


Through tending transient spaces, maintaining fragile connections, and carrying what matters across boundaries, the oscillator enacts dwelling itself. Care becomes the home we carry. In our new exhibition Liminal Oscillator, I am pleased to present works that invite viewers in Beijing to contemplate the spaces between states of being.


As both the artist and curator, my role has been to illuminate the conceptual threads binding our practices. Pope’s figurative and still life paintings, Lebedeva’s interior scenes, and my spatial experiments each offer distinct interpretations of threshold moments—those suspended intervals where transformation quietly unfolds.
