Pigments as solidified liquid life (3/4)

Video projection of CCTV recording 8hr, looped, aspect ratio 16:9 2025 It is not merely a compilation of chemical symbols, but rather a journey of life. The crops I cultivate with my own hands gather the genes of colour amidst wind and rain; I distil the blood of petals, expose the tears of roots and stems to the sun, and seal the tides of plant respiration within the confines of crystals. The powders sleeping in these bottles and jars were once rivers of sap rushing through leaf veins, the sweet whispers of buds at dawn, and the sparks of fruit bursting upon impact with the ground. When the passage of time captivates the flow of life, they transform into tranquil moments of colour. When the canvas awakens, they begin to breathe anew through colour.
