The bed I made

2024

The Bed I Made subverts the certainty implied by its title, transforming what suggests consequence and finality into an outcome of perpetual change. Rather than a static finality, the work imagines a shifting and fluid world.

Lying within its entrails to activate it, the work immerses the audience in an eerie soundscape. As they merge with the creature/world/object, their bodies extend into space, dissolving boundaries between the self and their environment.

Rooted in Timothy Morton’s ecological thought, this work embodies the interconnectedness of all things, urging the audience to feel and experience entanglement firsthand. The world touches us as we touch it.
