This piece explores our relationship and exposure to sculptures within campus. I let each sculpture lead me to the next and the next after that. Following these sculptures forms an unseen network.

Redo/Undo: Immaterial Processes and Elements Untitled Video, 0:21 December 2017 With the prompt at first I found it hard to select a piece I wanted to redo/undo but with some thought I wanted to do the last project done Composition 1:20 (Immaterial Processes and Elements).While I did find it was successful, I wanted to present it in another way that was more controllable. Performance art is tough because not always is it executed how one would imagine it to be and thats what I found was unfavorable in Composition 1:20, also like many of my other pieces it was heavy with details that helped communicate the message but I wanted to challenge myself to make it more minimalistic. With this new piece its main theme of life and death, I am again making the accordion “breathe" air in and out to signify life breathing in sync with the beating heart, When the “playing" stops so does the heart signifying death. I like the idea of using the instrument without conventionally playing it; plus adds this connotation to it that the body is like a mechanism.
