拍品資料及來源

When I See It is The Only Home #1, a salient work by the groundbreaking Indonesian contemporary artist Ay Tjoe Christine, hails from her series The Path Less Found. Tracing the alignment of one’s bearings, this series summons questions about the definition of a home. Whether it exists within the parameters of a physical space, within the gaze of another being, along a metaphysical realm, or as remnants in a mere memory, the concept of ‘home’ may be transitory yet everlasting.

By depicting indiscernible lozenges of colors hovering vulnerably against an ivory backdrop of negative space, the artist reveals the relationship between the forms and their environments. These delicate, diaphanous shapes, which emerge from delicately rendered outlines, possess varying levels of translucency. The elements converge to render a symphony of color fields ranging from warm tones to cool, opaque to transparent, solid to hollow, robust to precariously faint. The congregating and disappearing contours conjure images of travel and nostalgia, so reflective of the title itself.
