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.

  • Artist Statement

    I adore naked desire
    You make me familiarize myself with fear
    You topple the world
    To let my absurdity flow
    Feel he ecstasy in the birth of tragedy
    Between desire and fear
