ABOUT LIGE / PIG

“Lige / Pig” is a conceptual piece of art that explores the juxtaposition between two seemingly unrelated elements—”lige” and “pig”—to challenge perceptions and provoke thought. The term “lige,” though not commonly used, can be seen as a playful variation of the word “lie” or an abstract reference, inviting viewers to question truth, perception, and the narratives we build around them. The word “pig,” on the other hand, carries a variety of cultural and symbolic meanings, from animalistic representation to associations with greed, gluttony, and even social commentary on issues like class and power.

In the piece, these two terms are brought together in a way that invites viewers to reflect on how contrasting concepts—truth versus falsehood, purity versus excess—can coexist, often in a complex and uncomfortable manner. “Lige / Pig” may be seen as a critique of modern society, challenging the boundaries between the natural and the constructed, the honest and the corrupt.

The work could be interpreted as a metaphor for the internal and external contradictions that individuals or cultures navigate daily, forcing the audience to confront uncomfortable truths about identity, morality, and the human condition. Through the use of bold imagery and layered meanings, “Lige / Pig” becomes a platform for deeper philosophical reflection and cultural critique.
