Thinker Sculpture

In my sculpture series , I reinterpret the idea and image of an icon that we have already known, and represent it through an everyday material - magazine paper. Compared other materials more traditionally used in sculpture, I am drawn to magazine paper’s distinct characteristics - its lightness, fragility, variety of color, and the idea of its necessity and waste at the same time. I believe these attributes of magazine paper help me produce a contemporary image of an icon. In developing a new idea and image of an icon I also aim to create a reflection of current society and culture, an opportunity to reconsider them through art work. To help build a new idea and image of an icon, I also include a modern object in the piece – like the works 'Cheri-The birth of venus' and 'Thinker'. The object I add represents a symbol or a metaphor for the influence of capitalism and current culture and the value system on which they are based. This series has started around the subject of goddesses, but I am planning to expand it to more iconic subjects over time. It is important to me not to lose the aesthetic character in this series while creating my idea of a new icon. I try to maintain a sense of beauty in this work. Although my work in this series is inspired by traditional sculpture, it still has to be contemporary and reflect current culture and society. As a contemporary artist, I try to follow core traditions of sculpture from the past, while expanding the range of materials used, and merging ideas and images of different cultures in this work.
