MixTate Yu Su on Andra Ursuţa

A body, filled with what could have been and what will be, is dragged by something unseen and unspoken towards a distant place. I cannot see, hear or touch the decay that surrounds me, for perhaps I am the decay – fragile yet thriving on the emptiness within. The weight I carry is not mine alone; it settles into the hollow, a quiet heaviness. The murmurs begin, barely whispers, but soon they grow clearer, echoing from the inside out. Perhaps we are all deathless, drifting in cycles where the end is only another beginning, and we will return to the graveyard of time, where nothing is forgotten though everything fades. I feel quite close to Ursuța’s sculptural works, even though the stories she tells through them often draw on ancient myth and folklore, as well as her own personal memories and experiences. The stillness of her lead-crystal sculpture Predators ’R Us – a hybrid figure cast from organic and inorganic forms, seemingly frozen mid-movement – speaks volumes, akin to music that might at first seem motionless yet is profoundly compelling
