Dead Weight (2023- ungoing)
Dead Weight is an installation exploring how beliefs shape our experience of reality. A life-sized human figure lies buried beneath stones, with negative thoughts and limiting convictions written on them.
Moving through the space, a second figure (dressed in the same black fabric) seems to be carried by helium balloons inscribed with affirming, uplifting phrases. Together, they form a living contrast between heavy stagnation and light movement. The work invites reflection on the invisible narratives we carry, and how they can either hold us down or lift us into new ways of being.
Exhibited at Untamed group exhibition in 2023, and at The Portal exhibition at WIHH in 2026.
The installation grows every time I go beyond my comfort zone, and survival patterns come to the surface. The piece is also used as a tool to start conversations with the community. What thoughts do you recognize? When do they come up? What happens when you listen to them? And what happens when you own yourself, and remember who you are?
