PARASITISM 

2020-2021 (IB Visual Arts HL)

My body of work is inspired by French philosopher Michel Serres’ book Le Parasite. In English, a parasite is an organism that feeds off its host, or the unwelcome social guest. In French, it also infers noise. I use parasitisim as a lens to looking at the web of environmental and social crisises we face today. The pandemic becomes a catalyst for change. I entangle and deconstruct materials into a web of chaos until new mutualistic relations are formed. My pieces are in constant growth and decay, questioning the meaning of our very own existence in the world.
