Age of Aquarius
2020 -2023
Age of Aquarius presents amorphous textile sculptures embodying the essence of this astrological era through materiality, form, symbolism, and interactive elements. Crafted from diverse fabrics, threads, and fibres known for flexibility and tactile qualities, these sculptures abandon rigid structures, emphasising energy fluidity and interconnectedness central to Aquarian themes.
A vibrant color palette draws from nature, spirituality, and cosmic elements: blues, purples, indigo, and emerald symbolise celestial vastness. Patterns of water, waves, stars, and celestial bodies intertwine, creating a visual tapestry evoking cosmic harmony. Soft, tactile surfaces invite touch, fostering deeper connection. They encourage exploration, inviting viewers to feel textures and contemplate interconnectedness, mirroring Aquarian collaboration and communal spirit. These sculptures offer a sensory journey to connect with transformative energies.
As a side note: The "Age of Aquarius" marks Earth's transition into the zodiacal sign of Aquarius due to equinox precession. Each astrological age lasts about 2,150 years, influenced by this cosmic shift. Aquarius symbolizes enlightenment, humanitarianism, innovation, and technological advancement in human consciousness and societal evolution.
