The Fragile Texture of our Desires is an ephemeral floor installation that explores both the fragility of the human condition and the complex nature of our desires. The temporality of the work reminds us that we are all transient beings and our bodies, along with the material world that surrounds us, are in a slow process of returning back to the dust from which we came.  
By materialising the familiar in an unfamiliar context, the work stimulates our ability to rethink our relationship towards objects, threatening the natural order and toying with the tensions that lie between beauty and repulsion, curiosity and discomfort, desire and disgust.

At first glance, the installation resembles an ornate rug. It is created using varieties of loose debris including ash, bone and dried animal blood, gently sifted over handmade stencils to create delicate patterns. The process subtly alludes to the rituals and boundaries of  ‘the body’ and domestic space. Within our own bodies, we carry the bodies of our ancestors and the immediate effects of their experiences, one lifetime passed to another, a history ready to be destroyed and remade.
