Jumble VIII
2020, aluminium, wire and glass, 26,5 x 18 x 18 cm
With the Jumble Series, I attempt to allude, through the metal threads, to the times in life when one loses a loved one and the circumstances that arise from that absence, when you do not know what to do, where to go, and you remain crucially suspended there. These are times for self-analysis, loneliness, mourning, sadness, distress. It also represent our lack of freedom, these days when you must stay at home and you can only see the world through your glass window.
I have used aluminium and steel as a thread to symbolise a core connection, at any level, be it spiritual, biological, social, etc., evoking Ariadne’s thread, which is the agent connecting the centre of the labyrinth and guiding one from the world of darkness to the world of light.
