MARBLES

They look like gravestones, like human bodies, and they have a message to tell. As we know, something “written in stone” is permanent and can not be changed. I thought it was interesting to have simple, random thoughts about “life” carved onto marble. These creature-looking stones feel like personalities repeating the same message for a very long time to come. The seriousness of the material, combined with the lightness of the thoughts, results in a permanent strangeness, which interests me very much. I like it when artworks vibrate in a state of uncertainty. Plus, there are some conclusions about our world with an undeniable truth. Of course, people usually share those thoughts on Facebook and don’t carve them in stone.
