Video and sound-recording of the soil in my father's grave.
To be presented in a sky-like projection on the ceiling.

Coming from an animistic material spirituality, I do not think my father has left the planet after his passing.

His material is ever transforming and flowing through beings through a planetary metabolism.

Rather than the dominant narrative where the hereafter is an immaterial place far away above us, I propose an alternative where we look to our soil (and therefore food) for the continuation of our loved ones.
I recorded a cosmic sound and angel like microbes in my fathers grave and will project them as if they are above us as heaven.

This approach has led me to alter my vision on religion and God; Eating becomes a form of communion, cooking as ritualistic, and farming as sacred. Being edible is the essence of our liminal bodies.
