In a diverse context, artworks titled ‘Persisting Threads’ are imagined with failed, broken, dismantled, diseased, malleable, and inherently fragile components. These elements are arranged on closed and open shelves that are spread, fallen, trapped, blocked, erased, evacuated, and repurposed. Many of these objects are named after asteroids that slowly orbit the Earth, including 16 Psyche, the only metal asteroid we found in Earth's orbit. Through this approach, the artist seeks to prompt viewers to look beyond the surface, as the names provide an identity, akin to skin, to the unknown, the yet-to-be-discovered, or things we may think we don't know but actually may be familiar with.
Through personal and societal tensions in this body of work, the artist draws correlations between the biological and natural aspects of growth, decay, and death, making them visible within the context of one’s own body - flesh, skin, and debility as chronic elements of malleability. Here, nature is not viewed as an external source but as a multidirectional expansion of various Meta+bio+techno+cosmo logical threads that manifest life. The intention is to invite contemplation beyond the immediate visual experience and delve into the infinite intricate layers of existence, system errors, and dysfunctions concerning debility and aggressive sophistication in a fast phase, acknowledging both vulnerability and resilience.
