My intention with this installation was to create an immersive environment in which participants and viewers navigate a gallery space filled with coiled thread and suspended wax vessels. The wax bowls function as metaphors for the human vessel, representing the container of our experiences, which we may share physically, emotionally, or subconsciously. The human condition is subject to continual physical and emotional transformation. Similarly, the wax vessels embody this process of change; viewers encounter them in various forms within the fiber web, ranging from pristine, recognizable bowls to spheres divided into two yet still connected.
I aimed to offer participants and viewers an experience that encourages contemplation of their own life cycles, fostering an immersive atmosphere as they explored a gallery space laden with coiled thread and suspended wax vessels.
