A seeker From A Distant Clamour
Mizzonk’s A Seeker from a Distant Clamour explores the power of mental imagery as a refuge in a world of noise. It reflects how thought shapes experience—how an internal sanctuary can be built through perception and intention.
The work is rooted in Wan-Yi’s connection to nature, specifically the garden that has nurtured this vision. The desire to construct an idealized world is not an act of escapism but a response to the dissonance of modern life. Peace takes shape through deliberate action.
The installation consists of written phrases in watercolor ink on paper strips, grouped into three themes: home, garden, and dreams. Home is the foundation, the root of being. Garden embodies the relationship between self and nature. Dreams reflect the search for meaning and direction. These words, drawn from the artist’s own reflections, preserve ephemeral moments, turning them into something enduring.
Arranged radially on low tables, the text invites movement and pauses for contemplation, much like reading a poem. The circular layout mirrors the cyclical nature of thought and time. Each phrase unfolds gradually, engaging the viewer not just with the words, but with the act of reading itself.
A Seeker from a Distant Clamour explores how awareness shapes reality, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own path to peace and wholeness in an ever-chaotic world.
