We will meet again in the sky

DESCRIPTION

We Will Meet Again in the Sky is a sculpture installation that intricately intertwines with the essence of ancient Egyptian mythology and the sacred landscape of the Giza Plateau. Through the portrayal of avian figures in a mesmerising swarm, Singer channels the divine symbolism deeply rooted in Egyptian cosmology, where gods and spirits are often depicted as anthropomorphic beings closely connected to natural elements.

In ancient Egyptian belief systems, birds held profound significance as symbols of transcendence, freedom, and divine communication. The choice of avian forms in Singer’s installation pays homage to this rich iconography and evokes the spirit of ancient deities such as Bennu, associated with rebirth and the sun. Just as Bennu was revered as a symbol of eternal renewal, so too does Singer’s artwork embody a timeless message of regeneration and continuity. Moreover, the concept of murmuration, derived from Sanskrit etymology and manifested through the synchronised movement of birds in flight, echoes the harmonious balance between individual autonomy and collective unity, a concept deeply ingrained in ancient Egyptian philosophy.

Through innovative use of materiality and form, Singer revitalises these ancient symbols and invites viewers to engage in a dialogue between past and present, between myth and modernity in a poignant testament to the timeless wisdom encoded within the cultural heritage of Egypt and its profound resonance with the human experience.
