Anicca is a Buddhist term, meaning the impermanence of things. It translates to “the concept of everything constantly changing and nothing ever remaining the same.”
This work is an observation of post-pandemic society. I am interested in the rapid readjustment to contemporary conditioning of productivity and “grind” culture and, as such, the work aims to contrast that to ancient eastern practices – among those being paper-making. When making paper by hand, one embodies a state of mind that invokes patience, care and mindfulness. The process and result is simultaneously the same and yet always different; Anicca. Through this meditative process I attempt to re-enter the slower pace of life experienced in restrictive lockdown days. Building upon an introspection with nature through installation, video and sound, I invite the audience to enter this state with me.
Rain water, seaweed from the beach, flowers from my mother and leaves from Powerscourt waterfall; these collected fragments of nature now reside as immersive guides for your experience.
