Metaphysics of Presence

Participants

The series is a sculptural sketch that aims to analyse the concept of the “body as a temple”. It also considers the relationship between architecture and the construction of self. Although the body has been coined to be a temple, the practice of entering a temple to obtain a sense of transformation is fascinating and popular.

Presence has been acknowledged in many aspects; sound, light, objects and form, or the absence of it. All are part of the apparatus of the presence. The attempt is to initiate the concept by casting voluntary bodies using materials like wood and plaster. The figurative play of forms allows for the viewers’ own perception of development and presence.
