In “Do You Hear Me,” I created a wooden platform for the public to stand upon and view an excavation work in progress of tongues embedded in rock, like remnants from a past age and place that can still imbue their messages to us today in our modern world. I constructed the ceramic tongues and embedded them into concrete, which is molded to the floor and to the sides of the platform, parts of which have been peeled away in order to reveal the excavation. In this work, I want the viewers to see the still shiny tongues in twisted positions, in an eternal desire to speak to us about the human conditions of their time – their aspirations, loves, hates and despair. |
