As the pandemic continues, a certain sense of absence and isolation from others has been permeating my life. I want to create placeholders that serve as invitations for someone who is not here but is around somewhere else. Like a chair. Chairs carry traces of the bodies that have sat on them, but they are also invitations to sit. They create places for propositional bodies - even if no one is here, the body is expected and implied. The components installed on and inside the wall are like apertures or windows. We're usually accustomed to see walls as barriers blocking us from experiencing that other space behind the walls. By making apertures, I want to dismantle the wholeness of the physical barriers. I want to make the walls a meeting point, where many layers are folded and coexist.
