About the Artwork

Here, invisible structures of existence are rendered through the human form. The figures encapsulate a temporal being in an eternal condition and reflect our own grappling relationship with autonomy, volition and control. Are we agents of change, or are we fated to reenact the same revolutions under new titles? Here, the body becomes a corporeal locus where these questions are held in suspension. Figures are frozen within a swirling motion, inhabiting the tension between return and rupture, “to revolve” or “to revolt”.

The diptych is intended to be installed as two separate but closely related works, hung side by side at equal height. Each panel should be aligned along a shared horizontal axis, with the centre of both works positioned at standard eye level (approximately 150 cm from the floor to the midpoint).
A consistent gap of approximately 5–10 cm should be maintained between the two drawings.
