TUNGSTEN | YOU’RE SO LOVED
“tungsten” | You’re So Loved is a project designed to be two simultaneous experiences, of which only one can be perceived at any given moment. The project’s quantum state reflects the nature of all matter, as well as the artist KAI’s dual identity: at once Asian and American, double-based in both coasts of the USA, attempting to reconcile artist-self with human-self, oscillating between silence and noise - one of two brothers, the both of whom form one whole.
