Sorting rice, 2019, single channel video, 22 min
Presented at Schoolhouse Gallery, Rosny Farm (2019) and 4A Centre of Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney (2022)
Sorting rice explores the fragility of memory as a connection point, as memories evolve, transform and absorb new elements. In this work, enacting an imagined memory of female relatives sorting rice transforms a fictional ritual into reality, solidifying it.
