A series that takes animals and plants as its primary subjects, focusing on the “incompatibility” of images that seem to overlap and merge. Rather than viewing this tension pessimistically, the work observes it as a subtle and enduring presence. Designed to be enjoyed both as a book and as a set of posters.
“What makes sound into music, or into words; what turns a line into letters, into images; what separates movement from stillness, being from nothingness. It may be will, or perhaps recognition, habit, or memory. (…) What I sought to see through the continual layering of images was not the disappearance of this boundary, but rather the enduring, parallel existence of a boundary—an unbridgeable gap.”
