POWER OF THE VULNERABLE
The power of vulnerableness has been once found in a piece of shattered glass that left useless and dumped in a garbage can. The troublesome garbage shattered very sharply due to its inborn weakness. It was far more luminescent that they are in a complete and compact state. Naturally, the vulnerable, by its very nature, are unstable and even almost intangible. It must, therefore, reside on the periphery, which is ready for continual transformation and kaleidoscopic in nature. Vulnerability is tireless in its quest for meaning. Here, instability of character can be understood as flexibility.
VEGETARIAN SCULPTURE
A4 office paper is one of the most commonplace of all supplies. I use this plain, standardized paper as the main material of my work ‘Vegetarian Sculpture’. In order to build a form with the paper and double-sided tape, a ruler is needed. This type of paper, normally perceived as a material of generality, temporality and disposability attains a critical weight as its context renders it significant. For instance, anything from a celebration letter, to a breakup letter or even a death sentence pronounced by a judge might be printed on this type of paper. My work focuses on the ‘Flexibility’ and the Neutrality of the object. Vegetarian Sculpture dubbed by myself, it reflects the intensely delicate process of making this vulnerable work and the organic aura that comes from it. |
