The exhibition an accumulated life turns the lens on mortality by focusing on dematerializing form and content—collapsing the distance between material, meaning, and the viewer. Many of the works are a response to the loss of three people in my life in close succession - one being my brother.

My brother was at my sister’s home sitting at the table when I asked him to write “my brother”. I asked my sister to write “my sister” and I wrote “my self”. I see this text as a form of signature and the work as a family portrait. The text was sandblasted onto glass panels and arranged in the acrylic case according to individual age. All the signatures (we) are all present on the first panel. As my brother died, his signature is missing on the second panel. I am the youngest but if I am to die before my sister, the second and third panels can be switched so that she replaces me in line. The last panel is kept blank as we will all pass at some point in time.
