Eternity and a day- Impermanence

Eternity And A Day - Impermanence​

The series of "Eternity and a Day" explores the interrelationship between life truths and the impermanence of interpersonal relationships from philosophical and Buddhist perspectives. The concept of the artwork is inspired by Buddhist teachings on reincarnation, impermanence, Anātman, and dependent origination, aiming to guide the viewers to reflect on their predicaments and perceive life from a broader perspective. It emphasizes that the concept of dependent origination is circular, unlike conventional linear theories of life's origins. This cyclical view of time and life is known as "without beginning in the past and without end in the future."

My practice employs various artificial or architectural materials mixed with pigments, such as plaster, clay, cement concrete, sand, soil, bricks, iron wire, and nails. I reinterpret the concept of "primitive rocks transformed" for inhabitable rock formations, emphasizing the process by which individuals are "endowed" and "socialized" in human society.
