Astraea’s Arbor

Materials：fabric, wire, adhesive

What lies above, and what lies below.
What is distant, and what can be touched.
The movement of the cosmos, and the small lives at our feet.

The phrase As Above, So Below suggests a world that is not divided.

Principles that seem remote and abstract flow quietly into our daily lives, while the presence of the smallest beings around us resonates with the structure of the universe.

In this exhibition, I give form to what exists in between—through motifs such as flowers, insects, and the sun.

Not extraordinary events, but the countless, overlapping rhythms of breath and living that unfold within the everyday.

Above and below, outside and inside, self and other—
not opposites that can be separated, but elements that coexist.

In this world, all forms of life intermingle in stillness,
and from this quiet convergence, a single landscape emerges.
