In 2010, while participating in a residency at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI), the artist began exploring the use of thread drawing in their work with paper. By translating simple line drawings from a sketchbook into thread, the artist discovered the unexpected qualities arising from the combination of paper and thread, finding a different charm compared to the architectural installations that required strict precision.
The artist, intrigued by the Hindu philosophy that one meets approximately 3,000 people in a lifetime, collected around 3,000 signatures from family, relatives, friends, and exhibition guestbooks. Utilizing these signatures, the artist created various works addressing philosophical themes such as reincarnation, karma, and connections.
The piece "Tangled Man" reflects the artist's perspective on connections, where multicolored threads, originating from different signatures, swirl together around a single person. The term "tangled" in the title highlights the notion that individuals are interconnected in a "web of relationships," visually representing the artist's contemplation that human connections are akin to tangled threads.
