Terra
Terra is an extension of my artistic research, the consciousness of my past experience, an exploration into the absolute relationship between mankind and nature. The process of creating terra was something meditative and a self-discovery. Putting each piece of grass one by one in the one square meter was like bringing myself closer to life and to earth. Now “earth” and “I” are one.
Terra is a metaphysical installation. The idea of bringing back nature into a gallery space is to lose yourself completely in the space, stimulating your psychological senses to find yourself immersed in that experience. The subtle change in light, movement of grass, and petrichor are the elements suggesting a moment of serenity as an escape from the fast pace of life.
