About the artwork

Black silicone oil liquid transforms into the countless number of threads which keep falling from the ceiling to the floor. The silicone oil is constantly pulled vertically by the gravity and forms a black puddle on the floor. This installation transfixes viewers’ perspective in-between time, space and materials and invites them to observe the visualised mode of gravity.
