‘A sign in space’ explores the loss and leak of individuality through states of blankness, and formation. Evolving from my urge to have a daily practice, the studies here aim to negotiate with a vacuity through reflections on form, material and surface. As initial signs of creating form from homogenous matter, the sculptural objects are my first attempts at crochet and knotting.

The title borrows from a story in Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino that shares the sense of wonder of watching matter evolve from a state of void, and looks at evolution theories and mathematical formulae through a fictional lens. Interjected with personal histories, the objects here refer to mock-ups used for design- blank visuals that seem intimate yet banal and can be re-imagined, re- interpreted to create a sense of belonging and familiarity.
