Impermanence II, 2023

"Impermanence II", like its predecessor, was initially complete perspective piece, a creation that underwent intentional destruction after production.

I initially intended to cut only the right half of the piece. However, in my pursuit of achieving a more consistent and even placement of the fabric I attach the silk to, I chose to first glue the fabric to the wood frame. This decision, aimed at refining the aesthetic, inadvertently altered the dynamics of the silk strands when I cut the piece. Unlike the upward shoot and tangling observed in Impermanence I, the strands hung in a more subdued manner upon cutting, creating an intriguing and unexpected visual effect. Because I loved the unexpected evolution of the piece, I proceeded to cut most of the other half, preserving a portion of the initial structure.

This is what “Impermanence II” looked like before cutting. It’s also the first piece I made with horizontal columns.
