silent, don’t make them flap their wings, 2013

Fabric bugs

Size: 180 x 120cm

“Meticulously, I created thousands of beetles with black fabrics, the small animals that are often overlooked, and then displayed them in a haphazard manner. I let them crawl onto each other and together with the overshadows, creating a bewildering ambience. These are the feelings from some vague fear haunting from the past or a seemingly inescapable pain. There were times I found myself reaching these intertwined feelings and felt the power which arises from pain.”
