Fluctuations within Replication and Repetition

This video and printmaking work explores the parallels between hand-spun cotton as DNA replication and snow as cellular matter. Drawing on my own experiences of pregnancy, parenting, and breast cancer, it investigates the subtle variability—the inherent imperfection—that emerges each time a form is reproduced.

複製と反復のゆらぎ

この映像と版画作品は、手紡ぎ綿糸をDNA複製に、降り積もった雪を細胞に見立て、その相似性を探ります。妊娠、子育て、乳がんという自身の経験を土台に、繰り返し複製されるたびに生まれる微細な変異──内在する不完全性──を見つめます。
