About this artwork
A praying mantis rests quietly on a crumpled sheet of aluminium foil — a meeting of calm and chaos. The mantis, motionless yet full of awareness, embodies stillness and presence. It stands as a symbol of focus, patience, and inner clarity.
The foil beneath it is the opposite world: full of sharp edges, shifting reflections, and broken light. It represents distortion — the noise of modern life, the confusion of thought, the endless movement that… bends and reshapes everything it touches.
Together, they form a quiet dialogue between order and disorder, silence and noise, being and becoming. The mantis does not resist the twisted metal surface; it simply exists upon it, untouched by its turmoil.
Through this contrast, Stillness & Distortion reflects on the nature of balance — how calm can exist not in escape from chaos, but within it. It reminds us that clarity is not only found in the absence of distortion, but also in the ability to stay centered while surrounded by it.
