Chaos and Silence was the theme selected by the curatorial committee of the IXth Edition of the Lucca Biennale (earlier the Cartasia Biennale), in the town of Lucca in Italy. It is one of the largest expositions of paper art in the world in a Biennale format. I was one of the 7 artists selected for the artist residency in 2018. The Origami technique explores precision, repetition and structure – the logic by which the universe folds and unfolds. When the Hubble Space Telescope peers far into the outer reaches of the cosmos, it retrieves images of spectacular nebula clusters swirling into existence, galaxies merging into each other, suns exploding, black holes colliding and comets whooshing through the vastness of space. This may seem like superlative chaos at its most magnificent, a kind of galactic dance, but we know there is a complex order that creates this dance. These actions also activate unimaginable vibrations, but the vacuum of space means there is no sound in the conventional sense of that word. It is a silent orchestra. We see the images only and cannot even imagine what the sound of millions of stars crashing into each other could be like. To the human ear and its limited spectrum, the apparent chaos of the universe is an unbelievable silence. This sculpture sought to showcase this dichotomy by creating dynamic visuals of three nebula clusters frozen at that exact moment when they are about to collide and merge into each other. The visuals are observed by us in complete silence and we can only imagine what the universe might sound like if we could hear it. Astrophysicists are already working to hear the sounds of the universe - https://goo.gl/yq5kPL ; I am convinced that all the hidden realities of our cosmos are tucked within something perhaps as simple as folds. The divine cosmos exists in the folds within all of us. One day, we will unfold our inner eye, and understand more.
