– A gathering of tuna cans.

– The domestic.

– A meal.

– Tuna cans mounted on spotlights, casting shadows and silhouettes on the wall. Resembling the reflection that comes from when water and light meet. As well as ripples that expand into the shadows.

– Electro exciters that are stimulating bending waves through tuna cans.

– A multichannel soundscape of the tuna can in different contexts. This is similar to a diary, where I’m sharing different moments in my process.

– The tuna can is the hired star of this project; its role has become a means to an end.

– I chose the tuna can as it serves as an everyday item loaded with cultural, social and economic associations. It connects to the ideas of movement, transformation and resourcefulness that runs through my practice.
