When Humans Meet the Earth

Albert Yonathan Setyawan presents 'Palingenesis I' at the 2026 Taiwan International Ceramics Biennale, 'When Humans Meet the Earth'.

Working with clay, 'Palingenesis I' responds to the continuous cycles of life, matter, and the earth. Through the image of rebirth, the work considers the connections that emerge through these recurring processes, opening a dialogue between human beings and nature, time and land.

Curated by Daicho Tomohiro, 'When Humans Meet the Earth' traces experiences, memories, and relationships between humanity and the land through diverse expressions of contemporary ceramics.
