Interactive installation with glass, bronze, silver, cast porcelain

Life is an accumulation of events in many different aspects and dimensions. The relation of those events connected to and running through you tells the story of your life. Those events come in various features. Some are positive - happy, bright, and enlightening; and others rather negative - painful, dark, and heavy. We go through a countless number of events every day and night, big and small. Sometimes we don’t even recognize the exact meaning of certain events at the time. But later on they turn out to be important parts of the bigger picture, connecting to other things that happen in life. They accumulate, interrelate, pile on top of one another as life goes on. That’s the story of life.

Living in the age of social media, we are more connected than ever before. Yet ironically, we’ve become more and more anonymous and isolated. It is never easy to tell your fragile naked life story to strangers. But I believe humans are capable of connecting and relating to one another beyond words - by our souls perhaps.

Hoping to connect to your soul, I offer you my representation of anonymous life events. Many are made in glass because the material is just like us humans - it can be so strong and beautiful, yet it can easily break in pieces if hurt or mishandled. It can be open and transparent, or dark and opaque. It can be soothing to touch, but can hurt people if handled wrong. You will also find a few other materials. Metals represent density and indestructibility, whereas clay for warmth and calmness. I invite you to find your events and show us how they relate to each others. Shelves and the work space are provided.
