Imitation of Life is a conceptual projection installation project that explores Plato's Theory of Forms, through empirical and apriori forms as metaphorical representations of the true Forms in the metaphysical world. According to Plato, everything we perceive in this world is nothing but a mere imitation of the metaphysical world, where the true Forms exist. Imitation of Life will present the closest possible representation of the true Forms in the metaphysical world through our five senses, as our five senses feed our brain with information to help us understand and perceive the world around us.
