Takeshi Murata – Pink Dot 2007
Shahzia Sikander – Singing Suns 2016

Reflecting on questions of human nature, cultural identity, and sanctity, Singing Suns gives off calm feels of watching the exploding suns. Sikander’s meaning comes from a transformation as narrative, the exploration of disruption as a means to try and develop new meanings.

Takeshi refigures the experience of animation. There is no boundary between abstraction and recognition. Pink Dot removes certain data to create a new narrative. It is claiming to watch but questions the technological advancements in the world we live in vs what is reality. It feels magical yet repellent.
