Our Origins is an exhibition that considers the human inclination to trace our beginnings beyond recorded history and explores our limited capacity to draw conclusive answers about the meaning of life from such efforts. The contemporary artists in this exhibition use photography, video, drawing and sculpture to reflect on natural history from a distinctly human point of view.

This approach emphasizes questions about the paradoxical nature of human intelligence in a Universe that cannot be altogether explained. Where did we come from_ How is it that we have come to possess a consciousness and a psyche_ What does the future hold_ The exhibition does not provide explicit answers to the great mysterious questions of our Universe, but rather ponders the very idea that such questions are perhaps unanswerable.
