The figures of the Living World Series represent the universal humanity which everyone is a part of. Standing as a group to convey a sense of mass, they also form clusters to give variety in spatial density. The playful portrayal of the figures’ apparels and accessories balances the overall composition, emphasizing the sense of movement from different perspectives, while the shades of colours accentuate the sense of layering. What characters are these ten figures ? A CEO? A gardener? A banker? A secretary? A deliveryman? Yes and no, as people play different roles at different times and at different points of their lives.
