In “Aporia,” artist Katherine Covarrubias confronts the complex nature of religion as a mechanism of indoctrination, attempting to understand the form of an amorphous entity onto which people can – for better or worse – project their desires and impulses. In navigating this ambivalence, Covarrubias was confronted with the limits of her own philosophical posture.<\/p>\n
It became evident that even in her skepticism, she remained embedded within the very discourse she sought to interrogate. As a result of her upbringing, God was woven into Covarrubias\u2019s life through childhood rituals, holiday traditions, and family structures – many of which have since fractured or disappeared. In this context, the figure of God mirrors a familiar relational dynamic: an authority that demands loyalty, forgiveness, and compromise, sustained by the persistence of unresolved attachment.<\/p>\n
What initially appeared as cynicism revealed itself instead as a deferral of grief – a resistance to acknowledging God as something once experienced as a person beyond a structure. Aporia ultimately emerges as an allegory for family dynamics: the compulsion to stay, the difficulty of severing belief from love. In the persistent unease of trusting what cannot be seen, Covarrubias occupies a space of aporia – doubting in both directions, suspended between disbelief and longing.<\/p>\n
