Abstract
Interwoven explores the balance between creation and destruction, light and darkness, and the interconnected cycles of existence. This series consists of five statue heads/torsos representing elemental forces and an iridescent spider web installation with handmade beaded spiders, symbolizing the unseen threads that bind us. Each statue embodies a fundamental force. Water represents life’s origin and destruction, inspired by coral bleaching. Stars mirror life’s cycle, from creation to collapse. Heaven reflects the pursuit of harmony through growth and struggle, while Hell symbolizes transformation through suffering. Nature embodies balance, where life and death sustain each other. Together, they illustrate the eternal cycle of existence. The spider web installation, made from fishing lines, mica powder, hot glue, and beads, symbolizes life’s fragile yet resilient connections. The spider, an ancient symbol of fate, represents the forces shaping our journey. Iridescence reflects shifting perspectives, emphasizing life’s fleeting beauty. Interwoven invites reflection on the inevitability of change, the role of suffering in growth, and the interconnectedness of all things.
