Entry Into the Indigenous Abode
Khang Nguyen’s artwork investigates philosophical and metaphysical ideas such as the nature of being, becoming, knowledge, dualistic subject-object perception, spacetime, finitude, emancipation, unbounded totality and nondual awareness.
His work explores numerous ways to render the nature of dualistic perception, nondual awareness as well as how to gain access to one's inherent field of nondual being-knowing-time. To be more specific, Nguyen inquires how the perceiver, upon closely contemplating the symbolic language in his work, can be incited to gain insights into the nature of conscious perception as well as the underlying matrix from which it emerges. By attending in this manner, he believes there is a possibility for the mind of the contemplator to be released from the recognizable contents of consciousness such that an unoccupied space for the direct recognition of one's inherent nature becomes possible. This is central to his investigation of visual media's capacity to spontaneously evoke an unmediated awareness that is free from the mind's thought-constructs.
