In Carrying the Invisible, Redy Rahadian gives weight to what cannot be measured. A small figure stands above the frame, pulling against the immense red heart below, trying to hold what is far larger than the body itself. The rope becomes a fragile connection between strength and surrender, effort and emotion.
Theheart is formed from hundreds of small figures, turning love into a collectivebody made from memory, attachment, responsibility, and the lives we carrywithin us. Its scale makes the figure appear almost powerless, yet the act ofholding continues. The work suggests that the deepest burdens are often theones no one else can see.
Carryingthe Invisible speaks of the quiet labour of loving, remembering, and enduring. Itis about everything we carry without proof of its weight, and the strangecourage required to keep holding on.
