Ledelle Moe（South Africa）
In the Aikawa tunnel, which used to connect the city of Omachi and Yasaka village from 100 years ago, a ruin-like sculptural work appears. Moe, who had been working on large-scale sculptures with steel and concrete as his materials, used local bamboo and mud to create a pair of reliefs that evoke the ideas of human and animal. The tunnel, now ruined, is a part of this sculpture, where light and shadow merge to create a space that speaks of the intersection of completion and deterioration, eternity and vulnerability.
