Statement:

This project goes beyond a traditional exhibition; it’s a journey—a profound exploration of the meaning of “becoming.” The concept centers around the prototype as a metaphor for the human condition.

Like prototypes, our lives are perpetually incomplete, in flux, and constantly reshaped. Inspired by this philosophy, the exhibition invites reflection on questions such as: Are we forever works-in-progress, continuously iterating who we are?

Is life an endless pursuit of perfection, or is its beauty found in imperfection and incompleteness? In a world where change is imposed on our individual and collective identities, Prototype seeks to explore this ongoing transformation.

Each artwork in this exhibition will represent a “prototype”—unfinished, adaptable, and reflective of the artist’s response to life’s flux.
