2024
Mountain Spirit is an interactive installation inspired by the Chinese mythological figure Shan Gui and Jeremiah 10:3–5. It reflects on how societies create gods—and meaning itself—through shared imagination, belief, and repetition.
They cut a tree from the forest,
a craftsman shapes it with his hands;
they adorn it with silver and gold,
fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not move.
It stands upright like a palm tree, but cannot speak;
it must be carried because it cannot walk.
