About this art

Title:  A Marriage of Memories

Year:

Description:  While the artist was making this work, he wished to make a connection with the fact that it was to be placed in the foyer of the Space Theatre, which inspired him to work with the idea of the experimental form of acting in the arts. The etched figure holds playing cards to resemble how the actor gambles on his success while the audience is represented by the red arms around him. There used to be a red laser beam which passed through his heart, but it was removed for the safety of the public.
