Entrance to the hoota caves in Oman, the image is of a dark opening light with fluorescent lights. The camera picked up the lights as circles that I accentuated with yellow dots. I cut up and pasted the image separating the floor from the wall. Creating a slight curve . A curve which looks like a tongue. This was a mouth to me, a grinning face. Made from the entrance to the hoota caves. The dots of lights the blind fishes eyes. A sci- fi mutation of the being. Abstract on one hand, sci-fi mutant on the other. These works often live between this space, abstraction and myth to filter different references of body and place. Context and diasporic forms that migrate.
