Remembering The Past (Birds on TV Sculpture)

Perched atop a monolithic, television-like plinth, two avian forms become emissaries of presence and mediation—one pale and translucent as if carved from light, the other warm and mottled, crowned by a hovering disc that reads like both halo and antenna. The composition stages a quiet dialogue between nature and apparatus: organic bodies rendered with tender tactility, yet stationed on a box that suggests broadcast, display, and the flattening of experience into image. Subtle tonal contrasts—ivory against amber, matte against sheen—turn the work into a meditation on twin ways of seeing: instinctive attention versus curated signal, intimacy versus spectacle. In their stillness, the birds seem to guard a threshold where memory, perception, and technology negotiate what is allowed to feel “real.”
