「Revelation」

Seiho Hidaka

Japanese  Chinese  Korean  

This piece expresses the voice of god that falls from the sky and a human being who receives it. Straight and curve, fine and coarse, the acute angle and the gentle curve, the hand pointing up and the fusiform object pointing down; such contrary sets of elements metaphorically show the invisible existence beyond human being and successfully incarnate the religious theme "Devine Revelation".
