A monumental altar-like installation by Chen Zhen, *L'Autel-Le Dépôt/Le Repos* combines water, sand, metal, glass, wood, acrylic paint, and assembled objects into a ritualistic yet meditative environment that bridges Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. The work functions as both a site of accumulation and rest, layering everyday materials and found objects to evoke themes of purification, memory, and the transient nature of existence. Through its hybrid vocabulary of materials, Chen Zhen transforms the gallery space into a contemplative sanctuary that reflects his ongoing exploration of cultural displacement and the body's relationship to place and healing.
