I was invited to create artwork for The Peanut Project as part of a group exhibition at the TAKTO Design Gallery in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico.
The concept of connection and separation is central to my interpretation. From my perspective, the peanut serves as a symbol of duality, encapsulating the idea of a close relationship and exchange between two distinct entities, while also illustrating the interconnectedness of all things.
In this project, I drew inspiration from the process of cell division, which underpins all life forms. Specifically, I focused on the pivotal moment when the genetic material of a cell is duplicated and on the brink of separating into two entities.
This biological phenomenon, with its inherent duality and interconnectedness, parallels the form of a peanut in my mind. Moreover, I believe that the themes of connection and separation resonate across various aspects of existence, including birth, romantic relationships, and the interplay between opposing forces such as good and evil, symbolized by yin and yang.
