Fire lays
During his journeys through the forest, Jongeleen collects wooden branches, which he uses for defense against potential predators he might encounter along the way. Each stick, a found artifact, takes on meaning as a silent witness to his encounters and experiences. They symbolize his travels, with each branch carrying the weight and intensity of a specific journey. In this sense, they are imbued with effort and significance, akin to Brancusi’s eggs. In the gallery, these branches are transformed into suggested pyres, immortalized within the framework of art.
