This project has been exhibited in I Thought It Was A Drought (June 2021) and was shown in the basement of Yonkers Community Action Program Arts Education Center, NY.

Yang regards dust as both a material and a conceptual entrance. “Dust is invisible yet inevitable. From the beginning to the very end, it is here in the cosmos and carries all the time, space, history, memories, and narratives.” Two projections were shown in the basement of an abandoned community school at Yonkers. Yang shoots the videos of moving dust through a microscope. It moves at changing speed. Some part of it seems like a search for something, and some remind of animals. The projections trigger dialogs with the arch, the bricks, and the existing dust in the basement, and find a new meaning for them. She read her poem Composition when surrounded by the installation.
