This collaboration with the element of air focused on its visibility, movement, and circulation properties. Air’s association with emptiness—where anything filled with air is paradoxically also empty—served as a central metaphor to explore themes of loss and the end of a relationship.
The installation features multiple empty plastic bags held within a chicken-wire enclosure and animated by a fan. Projected onto these bags is a poem, with the material of wind giving them movement. The fan inflates and deflates the bags, creating an ironic contrast between fullness and emptiness. The chicken-wire fence encloses this scene, framing the bags as memories trapped in a delicate, ever-shifting state. The work reflects the lingering presence of what once was suspended between presence and absence through the combined properties, associations, and materiality of air.
