Description: A vertical wooden form, half-burnt at the top, symbolizes memory, history, or a resilient figure whose marks remain despite decay and burning.
In this piece, a vertically standing wooden form is partially charred at the top while the bottom remains polished and in its natural tone. This contrast in color and texture evokes a struggle between forgetting and remembrance, between burning away and enduring. The intricate lines and grooves carved into the surface resemble scars of time — vestiges of memory etched into the body of existence.
“Standing in Oblivion” is a meditation on resilience in the face of decay. It stands tall while being consumed — a metaphor for personal or collective memory on the verge of erasure, yet persisting with presence. It’s a remembrance that does not disappear but transforms, bearing testimony to time and endurance
