This newly commissioned series of three sculptures departs from Man’s personal bodily movements during breathing exercises. The fragmented curling forms capture these repetitive motions, reflecting the hidden currents of ‘chi’ and the tangled emotions inside the body. The overpouring flowy shapes symbolise a release of suppressed emotions and physical blockages from past traumas and experiences, highlighting the unconscious tension we often carry in our bodies. 

​

Supported by benting branches, these vulnerable forms emphasise how our internal system connects to the outer world which is influenced by uncontrollable forces around. Her work conveys the body’s resilience to endure, transform and grow beyond its limits, mirroring the perpetual flow of life. It evokes a strong sense of renewal and the continual adaptation necessary for survival and healing. Man’s work invites viewers to listen attentively to their bodies and to reconnect with the unseen fluid self within.
