The Symbol of a new life

The period of time in which a life is conceived in the nature is life the beginning of all things in the circle of life. It’s also a phenomenon full of vigor and power of life, no matter how small that life is.

The condition of the human mind is no different. It takes time to perceive, learn, understand and change under natural and social environment to enter the virtue of a mind.

I sense the internal condition of my one mind that changes from before, from not being able to understand even myself to be able to understand the society. I use the period when a caterpillar is turning into a butterfly to represent a new life, gracefully and visibly entering the new world.

Concept

To create sculptural work that reflects the feeling of rural people changing towards the urban life. Inspired by wrecked woven machines, inside of the sculptures are bone shaped resin pieces, left for the viewers to think and imagine the possible meanings.

The material used is recycled steel from everyday life, with the purpose to create the balance that combine harmoniously with nature that can always be something every human being can depend on as well as something that will bring about the happiness to all of us.
