In her latest exhibit, Traces of Infinity, Impy Pilapil explores the higher purpose of humanity through the lens of Anthroposophy — a school of thought, founded by Rudolph Steiner, which believes that human beings can access a spiritual world.

The esotericist, who practiced disciplines oriented towards the development of mankind, theorized that, at one point, individuals are attuned to forces that are beyond the natural world.

Pilapil, an award-winning sculptor who specializes in profound bodies of work, serves as a messenger about living in harmony with nature and knowing the place of humans in the grand scheme of the universe. In Traces of Infinity, part of the lauded Of Art and Wine series of Conrad Manila, she exemplifies these in otherworldly pieces such as Celestial Way Equinox and Celestial Will Solstice which seem to depict heavenly bodies in orbit.

Beckoning I and Terra Scintilla I both feature living beings that seem less than human.

Pilapil recalls the story of Atlantis, a romanticized ideal of an advanced, ancient civilization which eventually fell despite its ingenuity.
