The Unseen Thread

May 29, 2025

The Unseen Thread, a dream-inspired painting by Agnes Wong: a figure in a conical hat points toward a house beside a green field, with an ox on the path and a moon in the blue sky.

This work began with a dream of a figure resembling an ancient sage, pointing toward an unfamiliar house. When I later visited the Jung Institute in Zurich for the first time, I recognized the Institute’s building as the very house I had seen in the dream. It brought to mind Jung’s idea of synchronicity—when inner experience and outer events seem meaningfully connected, with no obvious explanation. Sometimes the unconscious seems to offer a quiet nudge toward something unexpected, leaving us curious about where it might lead.
