Sometimes it feels as if I can push my hands through my eyes and hold on to some of the images - bring them outside. Sometimes the brain gets stuck there, immersed. Sometimes the head becomes a camera obscura, and space a laboratory where the images are developed. But the work is not something done, rather something to do, to keep doing. Everything is interconnected with the remnants, like a seed, subterranean.

A person is placed in a terrarium, their actions observed - moving through the dark, appearing and disappearing. The ground they inhabit is covered with artifacts, and the actions they creates unfold slowly, almost like a static image - where actions are revealed in dim light—appearing briefly, only to disappear again.
