Staircase-III

Artist: Do Ho Suh

Year: 2010

The artwork was acquired with funds provided by the Asia-Pacific Acquisitions Committee in 2011. Staircase-III is a large-scale sculpture created from polyester and stainless steel. It's a meticulously detailed recreation of a staircase, suggesting themes of home, memory, and displacement. The translucent quality of the polyester allows for a layering of perspectives and emphasizes the transience of physical space.
