Lamentations 2026

 

Tuned to the constant, frantic momentum of human activity, we have become numb to the grief of our current ecological realities. Drawn from personal and collective experiences of climate anxiety, Lamentations combines video projection, sound, and ceramic sculpture into a deliberate deceleration: an inquiry into how we sit with and process the profound weight of more-than-human loss.

 

This slower rhythm is grounded in the physical and elemental act of clay coil-building. Built from the reclaimed clay of previous ruined attempts, my work carries an inherent history of collapse and rebirth, breathing new life into old fragments. The manipulation of fragile earth demands patience, care, and restraint, shifting my posture into one of stewardship that subverts the anthropocentric drive to control and dominate.

 

Working with the natural instability of light and water captures the subtle disruptions that occur when accelerated human timelines collide with slower, cyclical rhythms. Ultimately, this practice is my act of quiet sabotage: a provocation to step beyond the noise, pause, and listen again.
