Description:
"Primordial Chaos": A meditative figure sits in contemplation on a flat, heavy, dark bronze base. The entire sculpture is cast in deep black bronze, exuding stability and mystery, while the head is finished in highly polished gold, creating a sharp contrast that evokes a flash of thought emerging from stillness. The figure is intentionally disproportionate, with an enlarged head, symbolizing the central role of thought in human existence. The posture is relaxed and slightly elevated, as if floating in primordial chaos, serene and introspective.
Statement:
“Chaos” is a concept that has appeared in both Eastern and Western accounts of the universe's origin—a state of formlessness, potential, and undivided totality. From the Chinese "Hundun" to the Greek "Chaos," these myths reflect the transformation from nothingness to form. Over time, Eastern and Western cultures developed divergent interpretations.
The
"Primordial Chaos" does not align with any single tradition but visualizes the origin myth as a solitary, universal human—the meditating thinker. The golden head represents the source of thought, a metaphor for awakening and awareness emerging from chaos. The sculpture is not a depiction of the cosmos, but an ongoing inquiry into questions like “Who am I?” and “Where do we come from?”
Here, chaos symbolizes both the primordial state of the universe and the daily introspective space within us. It is a metaphor for self-reflection and a starting point for philosophy, art, and awakening.
