SILENCE #1.7
THE BEAUTY IN DEATH BY PIMPISA TINPALIT
Death is not the end but a transformation to a new beginning.
Not as a result of life’s frustrations but as a transition from this life into the next. From mortality into immortality. Each work is an introspection of life, condition, and mortality reflecting on the power and strength of desolation while subtly encapsulating ideas of journeys, ends and renewals. The series is a healing to those who regard death as the unlovable sting. Series of Silence is a philosophical study of mindfulness that all metaphysical conditions co-exist, and that death can provide a beautiful insight to understand and appreciate life.

PIMPISA TINPALIT
A Thai-born Australian artist, Pimpisa works within mental and physical themes of the beauty in the death, Her large spatial and conceptual installations that transform the materiality of everyday objects into a reimagined eminence, Pimpisa challenges the notions of free will and determinism through her figurative artworks with a focus on sculpture and installation.
