Hong Kong artist Tam Wai Ping’s Falling into the Mundane World is a two-piece sculpture that addresses underlying tensions he feels plague his immediate environment and the world at large. The partially submerged insect and human forms speak to a range of human emotions and qualities – from adaptability and resilience, to fear and desire. Through their monumental nature, the sculptures force a confrontation between viewer and object that elicit questions about present anxieties in society.
