Explore Conceive Integrate Love Transcend, 2023
Site specific installation, variable
Variable size
The work is a site specific installation. Wondering what it would be like to have an actual blueprint drawing as part of an architecture. The artist didn’t want the actual dimensions of the building as the dimensions, rather use metaphorical dimensions. Dimensions that nurtures the process of creation. As part of this installation the proposed five elements/dimensions are Explore, Conceive, Integrate, Love and Transcend.
“We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality.” -Kalu Rinpoche
As an artist he likes to observe, think, engage and experience life and our immediate surroundings. The finer tangible and intangibles that we surround ourselves with as a human life. Environment, culture, people, emotions, habits, behaviour, rituals, places, spaces, beliefs, myths, etc interests him. There is an eagerness, an urge to drift towards knowing, how and why about the multiple things, at times to better oneself, at times to simply know and at time to simply collect experiences. He creates works as a practices to indulge himself in ideas and thoughts and find an expression for the same. He is in the process to explore multiple mediums to give forms to these observation, ideas and thoughts.
