Artist Statement
Law of Contagion and Star Frequencies
For this installation, I create a constellation of otherworldly objects that appear to originate from an unknown realm. Resembling obscure stones, fragments of organic matter, or remnants of unfamiliar life forms, these sculptural elements occupy a space between the recognisable and the enigmatic. They are simultaneously strange and familiar, inviting curiosity and contemplation.
The work draws inspiration from two metaphysical concepts. The first is the Law of Contagion, a principle of sympathetic magic found across many ancient cultures, which proposes that contact between people or objects leaves a lasting trace: a transfer of essence, energy, or properties that persists long after the encounter itself. This belief appears in ritual practices worldwide, where touching a sacred object is understood as a way to receive or share its power.
The second concept is that of Star Frequencies, a speculative idea suggesting that individuals may share a unique energetic resonance originating from the same cosmic event. In this view, human connection is understood not only through social or emotional bonds but also through a deeper, celestial kinship, a shared frequency carried across time and space.
Arranged throughout the space as a cosmic garden, the objects invite visitors to engage through touch. Each interaction becomes part of the work itself. As hands meet surfaces, the objects symbolically accumulate the traces of those who have encountered them before, embodying the principle of contagion. At the same time, visitors are invited to imagine that others who share their cosmic frequency may have touched the same object, creating an invisible network of connection between strangers.
Through this act of participation, the installation transforms into a living archive of encounters; a space where touch becomes a vessel for memory, intimacy, and imagined kinship. The objects evolve not through physical change, but through the accumulation of stories, energies, and connections projected onto them by those who encounter them.
