The Tower

Timber 700x500x500cm, 2015

​

The tower is a metaphor for human endeavor, climbing to reach for higher social order and power. As well a spectacle it provides an opportunity for contemplation and enlightenment. Through the use of uniformity of physical forms rooted to earth, the structure as a symbol expresses a sense of misconception and utopia.

​

I hope to create a form that invites the viewer to interpret the notion of escape from an incomplete ideal to place of dream and fantasy. The tow- er is an expression of Human prowess and a utopian strive to achieve some- thing we do not yet have. The current race for higher and grandiose towers much echoes the repetitive ambition of man throughout history to mark his legacy in time.
