Dimensions variable
For thousands of years, we’ve debated whether life is meaningful or meaningless. Yet an ultimate answer is still missing. Perhaps we've been asking the wrong question all along. What if meaningful and meaningless aren’t opposites, but two sides of the same truth?
Construction and destruction, conscious and unconscious, love and pain, dream and reality, life and life, all are in duality.
Meaning:ful/less is a set of artworks that explore the question of whether life holds meaning. While this question of the ages remains unresolved, the journey in search of truth introduces a new interpretation. Moreover, the entire process of creating this work turns into a dialogue of self-reconciliation.
