Pusaran is an architectural and art installation symbolizing the whirlpool of life's challenges, moments, and hopes.
"Pusaran" is an art and architectural installation symbolizing the journey of human life. Through its dynamic vortex form, the artwork depicts the ups and downs of human existence, filled with hopes and challenges. The higher vortex represents the sky, symbolizing dreams and aspirations, while the lower vortex represents the earth, symbolizing reality and life's trials.
The sturdy tree of life at the center of the installation stands as a metaphor for human resilience in the face of all circumstances. Thus, "Pusaran" is not merely an artwork, but also an invitation for visitors to contemplate and find profound meaning in life.
MASSING CONCEPT
The basic massing concept of "PUSARAN” represents a spinning vortex, where the shape rises and spiral upwards, symbolizing the dynamic ascent of life's journey.
