Crowded Monument is a contemporary art project that takes an experimental approach. Inspired by the idea of public solitude, it explores the emotional struggles of individuals in modern society through a series of conceptual art practices.
On the Surface explores how symbolic structures shape identity in a noisy, crowded world.
The thirteen large-scale playing cards (ca. 80 x 120 cm) function as psychological surfaces rather than game objects, questioning how we position ourselves within visible systems.
The wood boards are conceived to form a fragile house-of-cards installation. The structure relies on mutual support, creating a temporary and unstable balance. In this configuration, solitude does not disappear; it is briefly held together through shared vulnerability.
Beneath the visible symbols lie multiple layers: a vivid, expressive, and unconstrained inner self. The painted surface acts as a mask, marking a threshold between an inner ideal space and the external structures that seek to define us.
Within the Crowd focuses on the emotional and bodily states that emerge as individuality is shaped, strained, and recognized from within.
More to come.
