Introduction
The Translucent White is an art project to explore the relationship between the higher power and human. In such contemporary world, do we still talk to the god? And how? The artists using different mediums such as, ceramic, moving images, sound, textile, text and drawing to open up this endless conversation.
for ceremonies of compensation
or just tricks to pander
to the gods’ satisfaction
Think – what to offer -
with sincerity
And your own thinking as toppings.
Ritual killing
of those in hills,
of those in the ocean,
sometimes humans – the little ones,
precious fresh flesh
- fine and gorgeous
