Inspired by astral projection practice and the odd nothingness of Squibb Park, this work explores a possible impossible disconnection between mind and body, and body and space while playing with various modalities of no-mindness.
With a curiosity for blurring the boundary between private and public realms, this work also attempts to drag out and expose an unprotected internal journey to the odd public site while vibrating and enlivening energy of the void-ness of the space.
