Their Sun : Our Sun / 2025
Solo Exhibition - Fabric of Belonging. Installation View
As the sun is the central force at the heart of our galaxy, the suns depicted in this work evoke a sense of the imagination soaring between galaxies. This concept is grounded in the scientific theory of wormholes, which posit the possibility of traveling vast cosmic distances through these theoretical tunnels in spacetime. At the same time, the seeking of other suns also serve as a metaphorical representation of the migratory experiences of friends, family, and communities, expressing the human condition of seeking new homes and lives in different latitudes across the globe.
The sculptural piece itself is composed of six modular forms, each one mimicking the shape and structure of a wormhole. By gathering these wormhole-like modules into a cohesive whole, it creates a visual embodiment of the massive migrations and displacements that have defined the human experience. The inner surfaces of the modules are plated in 24-karat gold, a material renowned for its durability and constancy. In contrast, the outer shells are formed from an iron composite that will gradually rust over time.
