IT ADDS UP

VANCOUVER | 2026
ALLIUM, WIRE

Suspended floral buds are threaded onto hanging wires, each strand representing a month during the dissolution of a marriage. The buds correspond to days without communication, accumulating as contact became less frequent. Visually, the work grows fuller as communication disappears. Externally the relationship dissolves, while internally something consolidates.

The installation explores heartbreak not as a singular rupture, but as a slow reorganization shaped by repetition, discomfort, and the passage of time. Through the act of threading the florals, absence is converted into material that is in a suspended state of becoming. The repetitive work of creation is a meditative and active construction, where liberation becomes embedded within the act of making itself. The emotional transformation becomes structural, evolving spatially toward release.
