"The red sphere, originally associated with the ritual of celebration and the expectation of magic, is stripped of its function and returned to the landscape as a heavy, vulnerable form without foundation. Suspended by a hemp rope from a bare century-old tree, the object exists between ground and space; neither in fall nor at rest, but in a prolonged state of uncertainty."
"Dragging across the ground gives way to swinging in space, yet none of these forms becomes an exit. The human figure and the object remain bound by a shared dependence on gravity, holding them together. The red color of the sphere does not function as a decorative accent. It becomes a dense visual mass in which traces of violence, loss, and historical memory converge."
A red sphere, stripped of celebratory function, is returned to the landscape as a heavy, vulnerable form suspended by hemp rope from a bare century-old tree. The object exists between ground and space, neither falling nor at rest, and resists gravity through prolonged oscillation rather than balance. Video documentation emphasizes ongoing instability by shifting motion from dragging to swinging without providing exit or outcome. A human figure shares dependence on gravity with the object, binding them. The red color becomes a dense visual mass bearing traces of violence, loss, and historical memory, making tragedy part of the everyday background.
