Goldrain
“Goldrain” is a sculptural work that showers 0.1mm micro golden particles from the sky. This artwork had been envisaged from 2018, exploring the theme of “creation of the earth”. These fragments are sensitive enough to be finely affected by imperceptible movements. However, once they accumulate, these microscopic grains cover the water surface like the earth. “Goldrain” is a sculptural work that showers 0.1mm micro golden particles from the sky.

Beyond good and evil, make way toward the wasteland.
The work reproduced a pure white room in the final scenes of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” and made it go through the process of destruction. Within a large glass case are dust-covered chairs, a bed, cabinets, chipped marble pillars, oil painting, and other weathered items which appear to be from an old forgotten room.
