"Survival Mechanism is a loose bundle of questions about space. The works represent attempts at filling a space, measuring it, feeling it, and moving within it and in between. Why? Perhaps these past seven years as an international student — living in a place with an expiration date, spreading myself thin between continents — have ingrained in me a spatial instinct. Space as a survival mechanism: knowing it and navigating it so that I might settle and find respite, for however brief a period."

many thanks to chris, who helped me install; to joanna, jonah, jonathan, who polished every idea with me.
