Inimical nostalgia (Cotton candy Sculpture)

May 2019

Inimical nostalgia (Cotton candy Sculpture): As a reflexive reaction, some people continue to feed their ego on the glory of the past to attain personal relevance in the present. Motivated by the scientific successes of their ancient civilizations, this appealing sugary yet faltering reminiscences is becoming a stumbling block for progress in the present.

This work reveals the necessity to have a complex cultural relationship with the past in order to benefit from it in a constructive way.

It is likely that our “fabrication” of progress will only push us further away from it.
