An Inevitability of Change
by May Jandayan
What is inevitable? Is it something we dread, anticipate or maybe something we accept? Do we truly believe that fate has already established a course for us and whatever we do will we ever escape it?
According to the Oxford dictionary,
inevitable /ɪnˈɛvɪtəb(ə)l/: is an unavoidable situation; (adj.) certain to happen.
Such a simple word yet it holds tremendous power and the act of certainty to its every syllable causes us to pause in contemplation. But do we accept this? Let us take a certain perspective on this finality. A famous blogger, Robert Scoble said, “Change is inevitable, and the disruption it causes often brings both inconvenience and opportunity.
Such is the constant motion of the wheel – turning and turning from which no one can completely escape from, such as the life we live, they say. But how does it change or affect us? This alteration? This certainty. It may sway us in countless ways; it may influence us emotionally, in every expression and reaction; psychologically, it either lifts your consciousness or dispute everything you know and finally spiritually, where you examine your confidence in all that logical which is a contrasting viewpoint of the supernatural.
Drawing from these perspectives of the human psyche are twenty-one artist bringing us their diverse expression of one’s recognition of both the beauty and complexity of inevitability in the show titled “Inevitable”.
