wishing





with Dear Liu

 Wishes and desires stem from the conditioned nature of will, arising from the mind’s habitual tendencies and shaped by experiences and underlying mental formations. As the tension between the conscious and subconscious lures beneath, the mind attempts to unfold the network of known and unknown forces in which the wishes operate.

The stacking of cast wax cylinders in space consolidates such a will into a tangible environment, where the act of wishing and the interconnectedness of individual wishes materialize with nuance. Figures are drawn toward one another, forming chance arrangements and sets that challenge gravity, while more prominent figures accumulate precariously, on the brink of collapse or the utterance of longing.
