Preparing for my project space. Echoing my first project in the previous semester. Again, I was wandering in the space using thread and my body, and redefining and reinventing the space.  

I found a few christmas trees lying around the streets of Edinburgh, thrown away, unwanted.     I felt sorry for them, as they had been robbed from their habitat, at their childhood (they are small pines!), decorated for a holiday they don’t understand before thrown away as trash. It’s like their meaning of life […]

  I dreamt a few years ago of making a piece of painting which was composed by strokes of pink and mint. It felt like a velvet grassland… covered by cherry blossoms… It felt like a lover’s hand. It was a wet dream, like that in between spring and summer in my hometown, where rain […]

         If only it grows horizontally or forward… It’s like the forking multiverse… fractal… for ants      Borges got that though

         An exploration/rethink of my little studio space. A studio is a tool. And tool is an extension of our body. I’d love to know every inch of my body. Stretching my body and mind is my way of meditation. I’ll have my ego extended, stretched, touching the tip of a street […]
