Undercurrents

// stainless steel, hand-blown glass, green micro-algae, honey combs, reed, silicone tube, water

// algae culture developed with Centrum Algatech

In Undercurrents natural filtration systems are used as a metaphor for the environmental contamination as well as for a personal 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.
