Series: Calligraphs series, Set 1

calligraphs is a 2022 series of five sculptural drawings, flirting with the iconography of emojis, para-verbal language, sigils, leaf-bitten larval feeding trails, fluidities behind the ghosts and traces of rigid structures... Their forms are haunted by recollections of many hours spent practicing ‘习字’ , or the repetitive writing of Mandarin Chinese characters in order to commit them to memory.

The pictogram functions as both portal and wall: a viewer either enters its world or strikes, repeatedly, the stone barrier of its labyrinth form.
