About the Artwork

The work explores the quiet tension between protection and visibility. Its exterior presents a bold, monolithic form, while concealed within are a series of intimate architectural spaces that reveal themselves only through sustained looking.


Corridors, thresholds, and stairways emerge from the sculpture's interior, suggesting private routes of passage and moments of retreat hidden beneath an imposing facade.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Faris Nakamura (b. 1988, Singapore) is a visual artist based in Singapore and London. His work explores the interplay between space, architecture and identity. Through his sculptures and installations, Faris delves into the ways people interact with and navigate urban and natural environments, revealing their public and private aspects. His practice often examines structures that suggest both freedom and constraint, reflecting on how space shapes human behaviour, and their relationship to the wider socio-political environment.

Faris graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014. He is the Finalist of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2023 and the Winner of the IMPART Art Prize, 2020. He was awarded the Young Talent Programme Winners’ Solo, 2017/2018, the Grand Winner at the Shitsurai International Art Competition, Kobe Biennale, 2015 and the Winston Oh Travel Award, 2013.
