WHAT IS CARRIED
This work is part of an ongoing series that explores labor, repetition, and the quiet overwhelm of accumulation. Constructed from countless hand-cut and manipulated strands, the sculpture becomes a physical archive of time with each strip representing a task, a gesture, a moment of effort. Initially rhythmic and meditative, the process transforms into something more unruly, as the strands build into an uncontrollable tangle.
Mounted with precision yet spilling into chaos, the form visualizes the psychological texture of monotonous labor. It speaks to the threshold between order and exhaustion, where the repetition that once provided structure becomes a source of anxiety or collapse. This duality mirrors the lived experience of navigating daily routines, caregiving, teaching, or unseen emotional work.
Through material and process, I invite viewers to consider how accumulation, both tangible and intangible, shapes our bodies, our time, and our capacity to hold it all together.
