presenting: elemental sculptures, earthworks, floating world AR

borrowed earth considers our ‘borrowed’ existence; the time, the space and the elements.

A journey through everything that oscillates in-between states, in precarious existence. What is then the essence of ‘material’? What meanings do the forms conjure as they continue to be reshaped by time, nature and invisible forces?

Through a series of elemental sculptures, earthworks and floating world AR, the artist attempts to capture ‘states of equilibrium’ that are at once suspended and changing over time.

Invoking pareidolia in her metal works and suiseki in her rock works, she invites viewers to find familiarity in the unfamiliar and form their own meanings.

To see beyond looking, the beautiful poignancy of our shared existence.
