Disturbed Habitats is an exploration into my early childhood memories. Ephemeral memories are entrapped inside glass domes like museum specimens or artefacts in eighteenth-century cabinet of curiosities with elements from nature, such as oceanic creatures, insects and butterflies. The objects are eternalized inside an environment sealed off from life, a rejection of departure and a rejection of the instant of death. The objects are fixed in gelatine in the glass domes, set as still point.
I transform my memories into hybrid, solid, coded objects. The collection is structured in accordance to my memory between the ages of one to six. Personal expression is located through the use of childhood memories as my raw material. Subjective and collective points of view are expressed; the objects are childhood diversions, siphoned from personal and collective History.
