OFFERING, 2022

Performance and mixed media installation
Presented at "The Incomplete: Speculative Fragments" Exhibition at OCAD University, Toronto, Canada

In this work, I revisit the experience of collecting mulberries from a tree in my backyard. The event is turned into an aesthetic ritual, in which I honor the gift of nature with beauty and gratitude. The gift is not only fruit, but also livelihood, resistance, knowledge, poetry and so much more. In this encounter, there is kinship and communion. Towering over our silly fences, the mulberry tree brings life, death and everything in between. And I receive.
