Exploring the complexities of equality, ‘Equality VS Quantity’ manifests as a series of conceptual ceramic sculptures. Within this narrative, passive and whimsical Equal Couples observe a victim of oppression, inequality, and assault. Rather than standing against injustice, they rise only to be seen, engaging in what seems like a ritual ceremony, devoid of tangible assistance for the victim. While they claim fulfillment, the question lingers: have they achieved true equality or merely become equal in quantity? Despite their pervasive presence in societies advocating for equality, the Beautiful Painful, the actual victim, continues to suffer. Forced to exist in the center, she nurtures and sustains the Quantities. The Beautiful Painful becomes the poignant excuse for the Merciless Couples to stand idly by. A longing emerges for the Beautiful Painful to be left alone with her pain, offering the possibility of finding a path towards healing and resolution.
