Bachelard's Steps



To express a thought, an outdoor staircase waiting to be climbed to the roof is diametrically different from the one buried in a dungeon with little to no daylight.  Yet, these two imageries could form a duality like two sides of the same coin.

 

From the inspired reading of The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard, in which building parts are carefully examined psychologically and revered intimately.  In this work, I use ‘steps’ as the subject and apply it in his manner of investigations. 

 

The work is an attempt to explore on the senses when a person is confronted with an archetype inherently imbued with antagonistic values.
