I love to garden and pick up unwanted stuff so that I can explore change of natural and artificial properties of matter. I wonder about our capacity for surviving the excesses of consumption and at the same time forlornness of matter. 

I was born next to an imaginary line, the 0⁰0’0’’ parallel also known as the Equator. This line divides the earth into two halves, a northern and southern hemisphere. In much the same way, my creative practice thrives at a place of intersection, in this case the intersection between reality and imagination – actuality and potentiality. It is here in this place that I attend to my artistic and scholarship.

The cotton pad becomes a low-tech biometric sampler to collect air and other material particles from the skin of the face. A chemical panel could easily measure the amount of soot and other pollutants.
