The installation is particularly profound and combines the practices of photography, collage and sculpture. It depicts the experiences of modern day urban life where an overload of stimuli is always apparent celebrating diversity and option. The work encompasses the dilemmas and confusions in everyday life and these are apparent in the structure in various degrees. By using cardboard, wood blocks and photographs this 3-dimnsional representation of a dark cityscape is finished with vivid colours of the sky and clouds. This sculpture of a human figure on the basement floor confuses the viewer whether it has fallen down from the top of a building or in the process of standing up. The open roof of the exhibition building allows the viewer to look at it from down all 9 floors. Her work contains an amalgamation of elements, practices and the creation of contradictory feelings which implies her concept – an openness of mind – giving life and meaning to things we consider unimportant. Changing the shape and meaning of things on how we see or think of them is Rea’s interpretation of how we could improve the lack of communication in this modern age which we constantly encounter be it people or objects. Rea has obtained her objective by means of a diverse and intricate structure with the use of industrial materials, wood off-cuts and metal culminating into a visually stimulating work of art.
