Everything Comes to an End

Location: Foundry Downtown, Dubai
Dates: November 13 — December 13
Participating Artists:
Everything Comes to an End explores the philosophical and aesthetic dimensions of endness, examining how endings shape meaning across different scales of experience. Each work in the exhibition reflects a particular level of finitude — from the personal and social, to the natural, historical/memorial, and urban — revealing the multiple ways humans encounter closure, transformation, and impermanence.

The exhibition situates endings not simply as finalities but as thresholds, moments of transition that allow for renewal and new possibilities. Drawing from traditions of philosophy and cultural theory, the works trace the dialectic of finality and continuity, showing how artistic practices can materialize these tensions in forms that both acknowledge disappearance and resist it.

Through acts of reflection, remembrance, and interpretation, Everything Comes to an End encourages viewers to consider how endings are not just conclusions, but points of passage — invitations to construct new horizons from what has been lost or transformed.
