tell me when the sheep come   

2020










By extracting natural elements from the external world and depriving them of their vitality within the confines of the internal space, tell me when the sheep come, was created to unravel the essentialities of human existence amidst the pandemic's surreal landscape. 














Tell me when the sheep come delves into the intricate relationships of self, space, and nature, during the lockdown period of the pandemic in 2020.

The work examines the contrast of stagnant time in the internal space, with the flourishing resurgence of natural life in the external world, untouched by human destruction. This unfamiliar circumstance evoked a severe disconnection from nature, prompting the artist to ritualistically document herself and other living organisims, decaying in a liminal space.
