Concept:
• A spherical/cylinder tree trunk-like sculptural installation,
made up of 205 pieces of cut-up ceramic slats
• 205 - symbolizes the participation of 205 countries
in the games
• Clay
–Natural material, a metaphor of Earth.
–Malleable substance allows participants to make
spontaneous imprints
–Become durable ceramic pieces through firing
• Encourage participants to get intimate with the Earth
- bringing human body and living environment together
again for the estranged urban beings,
“Take off your shoes, bare your foot, and feel the Earth
(clay) beneath you – once again!” .
• Kiln Firing at the local, historical/Cultural site
Dragon Kiln at Jalan Bahar Clay Studio.
• The time span and process involved to make the
outdoor sculpture installation symbolizes a lasting
environmental pledge by people from all walks of life.
• Participants who contributed in the making of the
installation could return from time to time to “visit”
the personal marks they have left on the ceramic slats.
