Description
The ideas underpinning the artwork Forefinger originates from a story in the artist's family, when neither his dad nor uncles had lost their forefingers.
From a family's history, the artist enlarges the anatomy of a forefinger into a sculpture whose size attempts an appropriation to the real human body. At first glance, the artwork looks like luxury decor, as well as animal carcass. The amputation of one's body part is now rebirthed, simultaneously, a reminder of the past.
Description is excerpted from "Stratum Zero" Exhibition Guide, 2023, p. 14.
