The installation Ducks and Branches, is my latest attempt at building a setting to work with belonging. Together with my family, our troubled experiences with ducks and my newly found relation with trees are the thematic drives of the story that frames this position.
Build as an open setting, this collaborative embroidery project uses our tactile capacities to access our sense of belonging while inducing transformation. The proposition behind, is to let go of the fixities clogging belonging towards the fluidity of becoming-with.
