Tri-Hexagon Antennae / 2022

Solo Exhibition-Lime & Tangerine in a Wormhole


Comprising two sets of copper-rod assemblages installed on walls, Tri-hexagon Antennae has a compelling shape that appears akin to the metal antennae of fictional, futuristic AI insects. In each set, three rods form a triangular arrangement, with a small hexagonal plate attached to the tail of each rod, creating a meticulous geometric pattern. Referencing the shape of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope’s mirror, the work, with its subtle patina texture, is reminiscent of an astronautic relic, or perhaps even a message transmitter that sends alien voices from the universe overhead.
