La source du monde
In May 2026, I was invited to visit and create an artwork for one of the buildings at the Wumuchong International Art Zone in Meitanba, Hunan, China. The artwork was created inside a long ditch which was part of a machine room.
The Artwork is inspired by the nature of China and the the Art Zone itself. Its made 100% of recycled materials from the old coal mine.
The artworks depicts a world on one edge of the ditch, created by energy coming from the pipes originating from the opposite side. The energy is blasting from the pipes and turning into a red sea. There are Three temples the temple of beneath inside the sea, the temple of now and here on the shore and the temple of above on one of the hills. While the temple of above and beneath are marked with a piece of non natural material, the temple of the now is marked with a man made piece of baked clay.
The sea is in direct touch with the organ of creation - the pipes that deliver the energy of life and creation, its also fed by water coming from the work the pipes created. Its never a one way street. Its in a constant state of balance.
The Temple of above is connected via a bridge to the dark forest. A place where the fears and the unknowns reside. The temple represents the connection established between a the sole of a person with their fears. Staying in connection with what might be pleasant is while challenging, is crucial for maintaining a stable mind and the ability to handle rough situations when then arrive.
The world with its 3 phases representing it, is an analogy of our existence. Our past, present and future. Our inspirations, dreams and our secrets. Our spirit and body. They all share the same level of importance. none of them is better of worse. They are there to coexist and balance each other.
2026年5月，我受邀前往中国湖南省梅坦巴的武穆冲国际艺术区，为该艺术区的一栋建筑创作一件艺术作品。这件作品创作于一个长形沟渠内，该沟渠是机房的一部分。
该艺术作品的灵感源自中国的自然风光以及艺术区本身。它100%由旧煤矿的回收材料制成。
作品描绘了沟渠一侧的世界，这个世界由源自对侧管道的能量所创造。能量从管道中喷涌而出，化作一片红海。这里有三座寺庙：位于海中的“下方之庙”、位于岸边的“此时此地之庙”，以及坐落于山丘之上的“上方之庙”。虽然“下方之庙”和“上方之庙”都以非天然材料为标志，但“当下之庙”则以人造的烧制黏土为标志。
这片红海直接与“创造之源”——输送生命与创造能量的管道——相连，同时也由管道所创造的工程中涌出的水所滋养。这绝非单向流动，而是处于一种持续的平衡状态。
上方的神庙通过一座桥与黑暗森林相连。那里是恐惧与未知栖息之地。这座神庙象征着人的灵魂与其恐惧之间建立的联结。与可能令人愉悦的事物保持联结，虽具挑战性，但对于维持稳定的心智以及在艰难处境来临时应对自如的能力至关重要。
由三个阶段所代表的世界，正是我们存在的隐喻。我们的过去、现在与未来；我们的灵感、梦想与秘密；我们的精神与肉体。它们都具有同等的重要性，没有孰优孰劣之分。它们本就该共存并相互平衡。
