This work started with saving a broken chair from turning into a garbage if it were to be left at the garbage chuck.

The broken chair responded to the sentence I dreamt about, "I just laid my organisations into two things uninstalled" and turned it into a title. 

The broken chair and the title dug up my childhood dream of turning into soup, or broth, something to be consumed. 

​

"I always thought I would become soup

My blood would be the broth

My bones would fill the broth with more flavour

I will become a bowl of pig's organ soup, but with a bloody broth instead

My hair shall be the noodles

And I'll discard the nails, teeth... the inedible, unchewable"

​

I just laid my organisations into two things uninstalled 2018 felt like my first born. I weaved in multiple personal stories; stories of learning, stories of failure. Through this work, I came out, acknowledging deviant ideologies and values from closed friends and family members (although some of them were completely oblivious to the content of the performance). 

​

This work marks the start of a process creating continuations.
