Relax.
The day is yet to arrive,
the wind is yet to blow,
the birds are yet awake,
and the bed is yet to go cold.
Swinging gently in natural drooping.
No hunting today.
The “C,” “i,” and “6” are formal analogies of this sculpture. “FEET” is at the bottom of the sculpture and looks like a standing foot, hence the overall posture of the sculpture looks like a free-standing figure. The disc hangs effortlessly without a sense of deliberate installation, which acts as a leaf or a hanging shield. The nails represent the stems of the plant, and the spears, and a piece of thread. I want to render a natural laxity with a loose sculptural structure. The sense of light is essential to me, so I chose “dawn” because it is the most relaxing time of the day, a magical moment that is unlike the peaceful night, but a calmness with transparency when everything is yet to happen, everything is waking up, everything is possible, everything is in time.
The leaves hang low, the treetops tremble lightly, the shield hangs on the wall, and the spears lean next to the trees. The radiance at dawn nourishes the earth like limpid water.
