Watery blue. The body forms itself over a building. The image was taken from a petrol Station on the way to the mountains in Oman. I removed parts of the wall image and darkened it to feel like a cavernous space. I was thinking about the image hovering like the breasts over the tree trunks. It’s a juxtaposition of image and space. I was thinking about surface. The surface of wood. The surface of the mountain, the surface of the sea. And make murky the rigid boundaries of identification. I’m thinking about the meeting place of different registers meeting on this plain, cutting into image and body, fragments sitting in tandem, temporality meeting in segments.
