For his solo exhibition “Capturing Silence,” Albert Yonathan Setyawan married spirituality and material imagination, using clay to duplicate the intricate patterns and concentric diagrams of sacred geometries. In Mandala Study #2, 2012, the artist constructed a mandala out of miniature ceramic stupas, covering these forms with white marble sand so that a milky tone emerged within the dimly lit room. Walking around this arrangement, one could discern in it the spiral patterns found in the head of a sunflower, which follow the Fibonacci sequence.
