Unsui (Mirror) manifests the artist’s enduring exploration of movement, geometry, Buddhist cosmology and urban culture. The cloud forms engage in the stillness of reflection and contemplative movement while its shimmering sequins register momentary shifts in the environment. At Socrates, Biggers’ work echoes the constant flux of tides and weather, forces that shape both the landscape and the lives of those living nearby. The sculptures become both a meditation on environmental fragility and a celebration of communal resilience, serving as a visual metaphor for renewal, interconnectedness, and the cyclical nature of change.
