“This stone “knot” is intertwined in multiple places, provoking a response in the viewer to mentally ‘undo the knot’.”
- Robin Antar
The tangled forms in the middle of the exhibition embody the chaos and confusion often caused by trauma. This knot sculpture, however, suggests the complexity of the mind struggling to unravel emotional pain, offering a contemplative space for viewers to reflect on their own entanglements as they begin undoing their mental “knots.”
