Locked In Time

Time can freeze or melt in our minds as we attempt to look back into the past. For thousands of years, humans have created forms, objects, and figures that we now observe from various perspectives—anthropology, history, or art. For some, these traces hold a unique allure, inviting mystery, sparking imagination, or awakening memory. 

I still remember my childhood journey to the Karst Hand Cave in Sangkulirang. That seemingly forbidden space evoked both awe and unease. I wondered: what was the meaning behind the handprints left on the ceiling of this karst cave? How and why did humans create them 10,000 years ago?

In my work, I explore how time can be both revived and suspended. I use acrylic on canvas, which I first print with a negative perspective, creating textures and reliefs that merge the disciplines of sculpture and painting. Through this approach, I aim to present an experience that is not only visual but also material—bridging the boundary between the past and the present.
