Mixed media (CDs, light)
Ferryman’s Crossing was inspired by characters from Herman Hesse’s novel Siddhartha — two humble ferrymen who extract wisdom and understanding from mundane everyday experience. This installation is a visual abstraction of a literal river experience and a metaphor for finding inspiration in life’s repetitive journey. Shimmering rows of reflective CDs lit by pulses of light, telling of the ferryman’s journey, evoke sunlight bouncing off the surface of flowing water. Through the scale of the installations, I hope to spark a joie de vivre inspired by nature, the complexity of the human mind, and the vastness of the cosmos.
