My life is an installation in the gallery of the universe. A statement.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
 <\/div>\n
I am both artist and art:<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
Just as an installation is created, I am constantly creating my life through choices and experiences, while simultaneously being the “art” that is experienced.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Active Participation:<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
Installation art is often immersive and requires me to be inside the work. I am not merely watching my life happen; I am participating in its unfolding.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Subjective Experience:<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
Installation art often challenges traditional forms by prioritizing sensory perception and subjective experience. My life is not about an objective, finalized masterpiece, but rather the unique, personal, and ever-changing perception of it.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Impermanence and Change:<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
Installations are often temporal and site-specific, existing for a time before changing. This mirrors how life is a “state of impermanence” and a “constantly shifting personal experience,” rather than a static, final piece.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Gallery of the Universe:<\/strong> <\/em><\/div>\n
This implies my life has context beyond itself, interacting with all that is \u2014 a “collaborative communication with life”. <\/div>\n
