THU 05 | Sothea Thang doesn’t do things in halves. Placing himself in the role of the first king of the human world (as you do), Sothea has created 30 human silhouette statues for his latest sculpture exhibition Manu. Derived from the Khmer word for humankind and made entirely out of hemp, iron and steel, the sculptures represent the cycle of life, following the process of development of a human being, from the simplest primitive form to more sophisticated and complex structures. The collection is at once striking and humbling, rising an impressive two metres tall, with each sculpture as unique in appearance and form as the species it represents.
