LIGHT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL / DEEP INTO THE SKY

Installation, 2010, 2020

A lyrical, touching object that evokes a complete sense of real life—the cold, black well, the icy spring water we draw up in a bucket. And when we look inside, we realize that we have lifted a living, trembling sun, shining back at us from the bottom of the bucket, just like from the depths of a deep village well. A symbol of the depth of existence, found only in the darkest and deepest places, where light is born.
