Burmese artist Aung Myat Htay has named his three bronze works ‘Human Prototypes’. They are life size (or rather the size of most Asians) sculptures, 5 feet 6 inches tall, and have the faces of an ogre and a celestial being on their chests. The face of the ogre represents ‘evil’ and the celestial being ‘good’, the two sides of the same coin. The controllers of mind, the slave driver of action. “The beast in us transfigures & roams the earth. The beast as eternal twin, as perpetuation of internal bleeding, as continuity of seismic story,”
