Attention, T. Karmi

it's hard for two shells to have a real conversation

Each one listens to her own sea.

only the pearl merchant or the antique dealer

can state without fear: the same sea



This 3D installation brings T. Karmi's poem, 'Attention,' to life, and explores the tension between interpreting reality, both internally and externally. Aligned with the poem, it prompts questions about collective existence — how can we thrive as a whole without truly hearing individual voices? Simultaneously, it challenges us to consider our broader understanding when confined within our personal perspectives, akin to navigating our own private opinions.
