Surface Tension
A given point on the earth's oceans might appear several places on the collage. The numbers on the map pins also repeat. Space folds back on itself. Surface tension is an inherent property of water, but it also describes how we live now. There's the ongoing anxiety of climate change, the relentless demands made on our attention, the political crises that lead us in circles. Materially, this is a map made of maps.
