Photography, and single-channel essay video, sound, 12:05mins.
Awarded 1st place, Enterprise Poets Prize for Imagining a Future, Ilona Karmel Writing Prizes, MIT.
An audio-visual essay with photographic and photogrammetric imagery, textual fragments and edited field recordings of urban weeds, the everyday, ritualistic greenery, exist universally beyond boundaries. By playfully swaying between traditional and new mediums, the work intends to induce new views by juggling between tangents of the explosively amplified and the extremely confined. Amongst different media explorations lie the same light of hope: how can weeds thrive within constraints, never conceive, always be free?
