Project Description Udara Era Kini is a temporary public art sculpture constructed out of white painted plywood that reflects the new normal the world is currently living in due to the circumstances of the spread of COVID-19. Udara Era Kini attempts to replicate the standard of procedure (SOP) for social distancing which is 1 meter length between each person, and the acute awareness we now have going through day-to-day life, now that we are living with the virus. The sculptures are made of plywood panels jointed together to resemble a ‘key’ which tries to highlight that the virus has opened new ‘doors’ (problems/opportunity) and we are dealing of finding ‘key’ (solution/lesson) as we pass through these doors. Some sculptures are made equipped with changeable air filter sheet on the sculptor’s head. These filters will collect dust and dirt, altering its colour the longer the sculptures are exhibited. This attempts to portray the need of wearing safety mask to avoid airborne transmission. The other sculptures feature normal everyday objects in clear acrylic frames, objects that we now see differently as they potentially carry transmission. The art sculptures consist of 12 monuments arranged in a 4 x 3 grid spaced in a way that encourages distance between people walking through them. Udara Era Kini commemorates the injection of new habits and new ways we see things. It celebrates the human ability to adapt to the circumstances. It is a symbol to the oddities we have now normalised like the ‘X’s on the floors of lifts and seats, the lines taped 1m apart and clear plastic screens between tables.
