Wait is a site specific installation comprised of Loblolly pine needles, cement mixed from melted snow, and galvanized steel. The pine needles, sourced from the artist's province, cover the entirety of the ground of the room. There is a swing that is suspended in the upper right third of the room. The swing is cast from cement that has been mixed from the water made from melted snow. 

As an full room installation, the artwork addresses humanity's imprint on nature and transcendence of time. As a contemporary Arte Povera piece, since natural materials are used in a nontraditional art form and the formality of artwork is challenged, the vulnerability of nature to humanity is addressed. This concept is further explored with the symbolism of the swing, made from depleting and decomposed natural elements from the earth. 

To better emphasize the connection between nature and humanity, this proposal includes a live performance by the artist. The artist will perform a choreographed dance that interacts with the space and the materials.
