Waldeinsamkeit, 2017
Waldeinsamkeit is a backlash against the artists predominantly digital body of work. It was created out of the frustration, and emotional apprehension during the final days of finishing his MFA thesis, a giant interactive installation. This sculpture embodies the feelings of isolation, vulnerability and uncertainties in one’s self, their chosen medium and creativity while working within this digital era. Waldeinsamkeit poses questions about the individual’s surroundings, the connection to their community and environment while grappling with the tension between the modern feelings of isolation while being present in the most connected time in history. How can we better understand the causes of our emotions to help ourselves to reconcile and grow from past or present experiences?
