The composition for the live installation utilised four transparent jars; two filled with identical units of water, and two with identical units of salt. These substances hold infinite meanings, yet to the immediate eye they represent the components of tears; which are not only reflections of pain, but also the ingredients of salt and water are vital components of the human body. Thus, the dislocation of the the jars filled with these components from the body aim to visually reflect both the emotional and physical disjunction of one's self. After each performance, another layer of wool was added to the jars during the binding process, which proved to be aesthetically most interesting to photograph. I was instantly reminded of the patterns of nerves in the body when binding the wool to the jars, which in turn reinforces the concept of physical disjunction.
