Tear

Proposal

"The Tear"

My recent work combines different media in the form of installation to create emotional environments.

Installation INTERSECTING SENSES is a multi-media composition that incorporates sculpture and sound to create a meditating space

It covers over 75 per cent of the planet, and comprises 75 per cent of the human body; water is the essential element of life. Breaking this fragile balance would be catastrophic for our world and humanity. The installation "The Tear", a multi-sensory sculpture project, will depict the painful moment of encounter with the harsh reality of life.

The installation will feature a wall-mounted sculpture of an eye, which is part of an environment as well as a self-contained, independent object. The transformative power of the sculpture works as a disembodied figure representing the human condition. No matter how much we try to preserve and protect our inner world, reality finds a way to intrude and disturb and violate it. In this piece, the teardrop is the result of this strong emotional shock.

"The Tear" is a symbol of the catastrophic times in which we live an attempt to externalize our inner world using the metaphor of the teardrop to depict the spiritual nature of human existence.
