Piece description from the artist
The photograph of the Caldron is based off the iching, hexagram #50 ting. The iching, known as the “book of changes”, is the oldest Chinese classical text. It is a collection of practical wisdom that sheds light on every conceivable situation. The Caldron symbolizes nourishment and rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is the returning to one’s natural desires and the recharging of one’s energy through the fulfillment of aspirations. It also entails that all that is visible must grow beyond itself, extend into the realm of the invisible, and the power of transformation. It connotes the symbol of the body and containment and within that we nurture both form and formlessness. The space and the container are inseparable.
