Presence of the Pond (Sculpture / paper, plastic container)
⬤ Message
I want to create moments in which people can experience art through space. I want to breathe feeling into familiar materials and transform them into form. When I encountered the pond at this temple, I sensed a presence there and wanted to keep looking at the scenery. I want to listen to the voice of the pond and create a space where people can become one with it.
