In the liminal territory between viscosity and fluidity lies a hypnotic meditation on transformation and temporal cycles. A viscous substance resembling industrial oil undergoes metamorphosis, shifting from dark, reflective petroleum to crimson reminiscent of blood, before returning to its original state.

Through its constant state of becoming, the work challenges our perception of permanence and separation. The oil's gradual transition into blood-like substance evokes the hidden human cost of resource extraction: territories contested, communities displaced, and defenders silenced. Substances we consider separate are in fact deeply interconnected in an ongoing cycle of relationship, consequence, and metamorphosis.

The work's visceral materiality speaks to our complex relationship with petroleum, a substance central to modern prosperity yet inseparable from struggles at extraction frontiers where indigenous stewards have shed blood protecting ancestral lands.

In this raw space, oil becomes blood becomes oil again. The stories of resources, territories and peoples remain entangled in the weaving of our shared reality.
