October 2021-October 2022This project conveys an understanding of sacred space in relation to the concept of 'total art'. On the first level, objects, images, furnishings and architecture come together to create a 'visual and material space; on the second level, the perceptual space formed by the food and lamps that evoke the senses of watching and taste; and on the third level, the activities and feelings of the subject. A space that thus links artefacts, architecture, ritual and the experience of the subject. Water is the medium to another world in this space, and fish and water are considered to be symbols of vitality. These floating water lanterns are a reminder of the desire to enter another dimension. At the time of this project, my family was renovating an old house and therefore a special ritual needed to be performed, so I chose this location for the project.
