〈Reconciled Glory〉
2022

A statement by the artist

〈Reconciled Glory〉 probes the enduring tension arising from disputes over cultural artifact repatriation and restitution. The ‘Elgin Marbles’ at the British Museum and the originate ‘Parthenon Marbles’ along with the ‘Parthenon temple,’ have been fragmented and separated by a multitude of conflicts spanning centuries. 〈Reconciled Glory〉 offers a visual narrative of the process of restoring original coherence through digital reunification, thus reconciling the splendor of the ‘Parthenon Marbles.’ This piece stands as a testament to the harmony achievable through the convergence of art and technology.
