Sphere Theory

(2018)

Installation with glass, bronze, steel, copper, wood

No beginning, no ending. Inclusive yet exclusive. Infinite, however finite. Sphere is a powerful metaphor of the mystery of life.

The shape itself is an ultimate mystery of geometry. The center point and the distance from it are what defines the shape; however, the true core itself is formless and intangible. Its existence is undeniable nonetheless.

Life is curiously full of irony and contradiction. Duality is the recurrent and multidimensional theme that I continue to encounter in everyday life. With eager observations, I have found the concept of sphere widely applicable - both physically and metaphysically - to any existing entity the world consists of: an atom, an eye, an individual person, a family, an event, a country, a social phenomena, a planet, a galaxy, a consciousness, and beyond.
