Never Knows addresses the construction of identity from early childhood. Emerging from the Behind the Obvious series, this work by Abraham Aronovitch explores a gaze in formation—still devoid of certainties and confronted with a situation in which perception remains unstable. The gesture is simple, almost fragile, marking the beginning of a process of self-awareness without immediate resolution.

Within this dispositif, the mirror no longer serves to validate a fixed image, but becomes a site of open questioning. The painting thus suggests a state of total availability, where identity is neither defined nor yet fully conscious of itself. Through this nascent face-to-face, the work captures the suspended instant in which the subject begins to perceive the gap between physical presence and reflection, opening the path toward an endless search for the self.
