Exhibited in a group show I Thought It Was A Drought (June 2021) at Yonkers Community Action ProgramArts Education Center, NY.

A mixture of dust writes a sentence and a poem. The affirmative sentence “A speck of him is here” speaks to a man’s presence in the form of dust. It can also be thought of as a possible presence of an imagined presence. The poem (Landing), written by the artist, is made difficult to read by the overlapping layers. Echoing the idea of landing, two panels are placed on the ground. As dust travels in the air, the work loses dust and collects dust throughout the exhibition.
