Distriction, 2022

In this striking sculpture composition, the bird-headed figure on the left represents Memory striving to rise toward the heavens, while the figure on the right, with its sharper and more angular lines, embodies Time. At the center lies the labyrinthine "House of Secrets," serving as a universal archive for unspoken words and unlived stories. According to mythology, when the conflict between Time—which seeks to erase all—and Memory—which strives to preserve every moment—disrupted the cosmic balance, the Gods imprisoned these two forces within this house built between them. The copper strips and layers upon the surface act as "Time Lines," representing the thousands of years passed in this silent vigil, weaving a secret map of remembrance that binds the figures to each other and the earth. The golden lips shining at the very heart of the house represent a sealed truth, suggesting that profound realities can only be heard in silence, and serve as the common "word" connecting these two opposing forces. Artistically, this detail stands out against the green-patinaed, hardened world of the sculpture, employing a surrealist touch that prompts the viewer to ask, "If this structure could speak, what would it tell?" thereby transforming the piece into a listening subject. According to the end of the legend, when these lips one day whisper the "Name of the Forgotten," Memory will take wing, Time will stand still, and all the secrets hidden within the copper details will transform into absolute truth.
