In Undercurrents natural filtration systems are used as a metaphor for the environmental contamination as well as personal cleansing and the process of absorbing grief. At its center are irregularly shaped tears made of glass and stainless steel, suspended in a site-specific installation that transforms the entire floor space into a construction site that reveals the various layers of the Earth through which water naturally filters. The installation is interwoven with the slow circulation of a green micro-algae that breaks down pollution, referring to symbiotic cycles, water crises and their associated physicality.
