A ceramic sphere, delicately crafted, sits on top of a metal frame, a kind of “anti-monument”, built in honour of the power of the hidden wonders in nature. The sculpture, upon touch, opens up a sonic portal - the sound of rippling water, howling winds and distorted field recordings emanate - creating an immersive experience that challenges the collective consciousness to return to a place of presence and reflection.
"Monuments of the Liminal" is a poetic commentary on the psychological barrier of cognitive disassociation that arises from the anxiety surrounding the fear of climate change. The warm red glow that fills the room accentuates the contrast between the urgency for change and apathy for action. The wires cascading down from the sphere symbolise a mass of roots, a rhizomatic retracing of our psychogeographies through the reflection of an endangered and critical time.
Through this interactive experience, we hope to restore faith in the power of collective by highlighting the beauty of returning to ancient, innate ways of living in harmony with all beings. By tapping into the subconscious through sound, light and touch, this sculpture invites us to question how our inactions impact our environment and offer a space of reconnection, remembrance, and redefinition.
