Emergence is the process of coming into being and it occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own. For 365 days we have been parts under a plague, locked in our homes and isolated from society. Human beings, social species, rely on cooperation to survive and thrive, however we have been forced to communicate, show affection, and live through screens and devices. But just as the sun crosses the equator line, heading north, science has brought us a cure. We are becoming whole again. Emergence is a selection of work made by Topica Collective in 2021 that speaks to opening the doors, seeing the light, and becoming visible again.
