Description
This series grows out of the shamanic belief that no boundary separates the living from the non-living, and that all things can transform into one another. The artist grafts together the forms of animals, plants, minerals, and even microorganisms, inventing life forms that do not exist in reality. There is one work from the series: the piece is entirely white. Its upper part is a cluster of rounded spheres, from which slender branches extend, each tipped with teardrop-shaped buds. Below, the form twists and narrows into a stem, and gradually spreads out at the base into a root. (Angela Tan '28)
