Artwork Statement:
Conceived as a spatial apparatus, Primary Reality explores the inherent absurdity of human intervention. Much like the accidental, comical entanglement of a creature trapped in an everyday object, human interaction with this semi-enclosed shell triggers a profound displacement.
When a person enters the sculpture, they intuitively assume the role of the protagonist, attempting to reduce the autonomous space into a passive receptacle. However, this artificial alteration creates an absurd tableau: the space acts as an "apparatus of capture," rendering the human passive and entangled. It forces us to question reality itself—is the isolated object the truth, or is this awkward, unavoidable amalgamation of human and shell the actual primary reality? Ultimately, the form subverts our anthropocentric arrogance, revealing how our attempts to dominate space often leave us unwittingly captured by it.
