"I had lived in books and imagination, so my journey into my self was different. I had to find the earth"
- Anaïs Nin

A two-metre accordion of 200+ forgotten and remembered objects.

Find The Earth is a living archive led by the instinct to collect and compartmentalise. Sorted chronologically, each object is drawn from memory and categorised into different stages of decay.

The spiral book is symbolic in its form: lingering and encircling, it serves as a non-linear visualisation of time. A pliable and continuous coil.

While the Spiral serves as a physical home for the objects, Field Notes draws connections across language and versions of selves.

Find the Earth acts as storage for memories, an attempt at reconciling the past and present. It's eternally incomplete, unreliable and detached. But at its core, it's an ode to the forgotten and the mundane.
