Curatorial Description
Dismembered Light proposes a visual reflection on the fragmentation of the sacred, the loss of center, and the persistence of energy amidst disruption. Through a rigorously restrained composition—yet interspersed with subtle gestures of displacement—ORENDAIN captures a setting where bronze, gold, red, and white not only coexist, but are also interrupted and strained.
The bronze leaf, the central feature, appears out of phase, as if displaced from its original axis. This gesture, far from disrupting the balance, suggests a transformation from the stable to the dynamic, from the eternal to the human. The rectangular shapes—some clean, others eroded—act as vestiges of a once-unbroken solar or spiritual structure.
The work is constructed from a minimal grammar: planes of warm color, blocks that brush against each other without quite touching, and voids that invite one to pause. The inclusion of small gold fragments amidst the bronze introduces a vital contradiction: life insinuating itself within the broken light.
Dismembered Light belongs to that body of work in which ORENDAIN, through geometric abstraction and the symbolic use of materials, interrogates memory, spirituality, and the internal structure of images. Here, bronze doesn't represent wealth, but rather persistence. Red, more than fire, is root. And imbalance, far from being a flaw, becomes a possibility.
