REBIRTH

“The piece ‘Callisto’, dedicated to a friend who passed away in 2020, is one such reminder of this fragility. Her passing led me to trying to find ways of explaining or understanding this process. It opened my eyes to the notion of cyclical rebirth that is found in Buddhism and other religions. Most commonly this is presented in the context of life and death. With this in mind, the form is defined by two halves: two mirrored paths, two arches that bridge the divide between them (life and death), to form an ellipse, the eternal cycle that transcends one’s present circumstance (rebirth).
