DANCING WITH LINE IN SPACE
In this series of bent woods, I deeply focused on the relationship of bentwood with the human body, life, violence, change, and space. I have deconstructed the wood essence in a violent act as the human body gets destroyed through violence and war. The wood's life has been taken away; its life from being a living tree has been dismantled into dry wood and finally transferred to a work of art. It is like human life, as much human life has been taken away by war and placed in refugee life, getting a new life with more complexities in another space which is a new country where they are still displaced, and their identity is displaced and complicated. Here woods also have been displaced into a space they do not belong to. It shows how human life and body are complicated, and this complication is outstanding as it makes the viewer walk all around the sculpture and comprehend how much composition gets varied as human life does.
They were exhibited in John A. Day Gallery and ID Weeks library at USD.
