Obverse and Reverse
Obverse and Reverse
The circular, colorful portal appears as a colorless white light membrane when viewed from the backside. When a person attempts to move behind it from any position, the world of colors recedes.
The surface of a circle made entirely of light, rich with colorful patterns, and its reverse being a white plane, does not exist in this physical world. This dual-sided circle exists within the viewer's cognitive world. We refer to such artworks that don’t exist in the physical world but exist in the perceived world as Cognitive Sculpture. When it exists within perception, it is considered to exist.
“The existence of an ocean vortex is made up of the same water, both inside and outside. There is no material difference. Despite this, why do we feel a sense of existence in the vortices of the ocean? We can even sense life from it.”
The difference between the inside and outside of an entity, such as a vortex, lies in the order, not the material. Order creates a different form of existence from that of the material existence.
Even if the elements of an artwork are separated in space and time, when an order is formed in the parts, the individual elements may be recognized as a single entity that transcends space and time.
A sculpture composed of an order formed by a collection of light that flows continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside.
