In the form of destruction, I dismantle the metaphysics of existing objects. Then, I gather the fragmented pieces for reconstruction. In the process of reconstruction, I solely consider the formal aspects: the volume of the sculpture, proportions, and composition, and contemplating the arrangement of motion and colors. It’s deconstruction securing reconstruction, yet the possibility of collapsing still remains, ultimately it is never meant to be rebuilt.
The mixture of heterogeneous and unrelated objects makes consistent understanding challenging. It does not converge into a single narrative, and most interpretations deflect. Becoming an impossible piece to decipher as a symbol. What I can do is observe sculpture more closely, stripped of the system of meaning. I aim to recognize the sculpture as an existing, independent entity. Lacking any message or metaphysical purpose makes our perception of art extend. We step into a different world by acknowledging meaninglessness.
