Installation advice

Best suspended using hidden wires, cables, or metal hooks embedded in a wooden or plywood base. Alternatively, install on a load-bearing wall using dowels and fasteners rated for heavy weight.

Artist’s Note

This work is a reflection of emotional crisis and the weight of unresolved thoughts. A loop of wires presses down on a figure, while a cart carrying a skeleton moves across a landscape touched by a red sunset. Two men push the cart forward, caught between movement and stillness. The piece speaks to the quiet tension between life and loss.

Built from everyday materials like tyre, bamboo, and wood, it mirrors the conflict between external structure and internal state. Each part holds its own burden. Together, they form a personal attempt to make sense of difficulty through form.
