Henry Art Gallery, Seattle
A pristine white house emerges partially from the gallery floor, its form appearing to sink into the architecture as if caught between presence and disappearance. The structure is reduced to a quiet, domestic silhouette—familiar yet dislocated—its scale and placement subtly destabilizing the viewer’s sense of space.
From within, a low, rhythmic breathing sound fills the gallery as interior lights slowly dim and brighten in sync, giving the house a faintly animate presence. The work suggests an interior life concealed beneath the surface, where architecture becomes a body—vulnerable, cyclical, and suspended between stillness and unease.
