“As the planes of vision jump, the actual self and the ideal self and the difference between them connect in one triangle momentarily. The connection is eros.” -Anne Carson
THE HUNT is a sculptural installation that explores the complexity of the self. It explores the inner dualities of the psyche: ego and shadow, control and surrender, fragmentation and wholeness. Drawing from mythology, archetypal imagery, and personal memory, THE HUNT is a symbolic space where the desire for discovery meets the resistance of the known. In a suspended moment of tension, opposing forces come into play — the restrained and the free, the known and the unknown. The hunter, mounted to the wall and frozen in tension, raises an arrow toward a freer, roaming aspect of the self. Here, the self is not singular but split — circling itself in ritual, confrontation, and longing. It is in this moment of confrontation that transformation becomes possible.
