Almost Collapsing Balance

(2020-ongoing)

The artist channels her experience of making and performing with marionettes into her sculptures to encompass flexible joints and detachable appendages. Mechanical limits between the joints incarnate a critical state of the mind, granting the sculptures a balanced structure and a static momentum.






︎04 - Resist








Resist, 2022.
Hand-colored limewood, Rupert’s tear shape glass, stainless steel, wire
55 x 114 x 68 cm






Resist is inspired by my thoughts and prayers of a dear friend who has been suffered from depression for years. The center components take its form from the Ruperts’tear, a classic type of glass which has a strong head with an extremely fragile tail. These glass tails are placed so close to the floor, that the bended wooden body looks like its trying the most to prevent the them from breaking.
