Interwoven Existence is the piece that names the exhibition and frames the space for the display of four other pieces. It features a transformative sensory space covered entirely with reeds directly sourced from the Tai Lake in Suzhou, China. Some of these reeds, equipped with sensors and motors, interact, and respond to the audience’s presence. This is underscored by a four-channel soundscape with performative field recordings at the lake, echoing the resilient pulse of nature.
