Resonator — Reanimator

Sri Prabha on ‘Resonator — Reanimator’
“I selected that title for my show at the Boca Raton Museum of Art as it refers to the idea of us being one part of the universe. We and the universe resonate, we are the same. The re-animator part talks about the idea of how elements coming down from the cosmos, animated life on earth. So, it’s this full circle of resonance and reanimation that is part of a life connected. The idea is for people to enter a space and realise that they’re going through a portal where they can be conscious of how all these elements come together to make us who we are.
“Like Carl Sagan saying, ‘we are made of star stuff,’ the work alludes to all these cosmic things that have happened to make us who we are now — that we can take these elements and go somewhere new to experience something profoundly different. I don’t know what it is, but I want people to experience some state of being that’s going to be unique to themselves but, through the idea of these elements in all the things that we all share, realise we are more similar than different. All of these elements floating around space came together and created us. We are all interconnected, and we can change our behavior to work together and collaborate.”
