Don’t we all want to make a difference? As individuals, we want our contributions to resonate across time and space, shaping futures in profound ways. Whether used literally or metaphorically, the concept of ‘Casting a Long Shadow’, speaks to the enduring effects of our actions, ideas and relationships.
In seeing everyday plastic furniture cast in aluminium we experience a transformation of a temporary state into a more permanent or stable one.
A temporary solution has been solidified into a lasting resolution, these physical plastic objects that were initially impermanent have now become more durable. But what about the coconuts? What are they doing here sitting contently on the furniture? Do they represent an individual person? The body weight of a human being? Someone sitting, relaxing after a hard day’s work or are they different decapitated heads, filled with liquid, sloshing from side to side telling us about their own insecurities? Or are they just coconuts waiting to be eaten? So many questions.
