Charles Sandison's work presents the Latin phrase from Horace—"Pale death knocks with impartial foot at the cottages of the poor and the towers of kings"—as a meditation on mortality's universal reach. The text-based installation likely renders these words as shifting, luminous characters that drift and dissolve across a surface, echoing the transient nature of human existence. Through the dynamic interplay of language and light, Sandison transforms an ancient philosophical truth into an immersive, contemporary experience.
