When I saw some stones in a circle, it felt very ceremonial and somewhat artificial, which led me to the idea of arranging them myself. I visualized the gradual processes from nothing to something, gloom to brightness, and few to many. The stone symbolizes some sort of growth, and the leaf stands for decay. I want to convey the idea of the endless cycle of growth and decay.
Artwork
The picture contains a drawing of the Statue of Liberty inspired by an old photo and an obscured image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The work may keep viewers so absorbed that they feel like being in a world with no one around. The indistinct and iconic images disclose the relation between traditional belief and reality.
