Artist Statement
Mu: Beyond Duality, 2017
In the contemporary era of divisive
politics and fake news, going beyond binary positions
is more important than ever. The Buddhist concept of
'mu' is a useful reminder here. Mu recognizes that
there is no definitive right or wrong, true or false,
or good or bad. These are positions of polarity
dependent on both time and space, history and
contexts. These sculptures can be tools for meditation
to strive for what Zen Buddhists call, nothingness--
arriving at a point of transcendence.
--- Junichiro Iwase, written in
collaboration with Maki Iwase, the artist's twin
sister.
