The 2022 Sovereign Asian Art Prize Finalist 'The day could not pen what the night painted' by Ayessha Quraishi

​
Though the day and night are strung through a continuum of breaths, we have no memory of sleep, no sensory experience, no recording. We are not aware of sleeping during sleep, but only upon waking do we realise we have slept. In the absence of a sensory register, the body finds rest. Just as the day rests in the lap of the night, its volumed emptiness, our perceptions, varnished by the light of consciousness, come to rest not in conclusions of what life is but imaginings of what it can be.
