The artwork features a playful composition of abstract shapes and textures. The color palette is muted, with various shades of beige, black, and pinkish-brown. The shapes are organic and irregular, resembling torn pieces of paper or fragments of a broken object. The composition is asymmetrical, creating a sense of dynamic movement. The central element appears to be a partially obscured piece of pink and white fabric, possibly a fragment of a packaging or label, adding a subtle touch of recognizable imagery.

Lotus L. Kang sensitively cultivates installations which unearth porous connections between the human body and the world at large. Working with a myriad of materials, such as silicone, thread, film and foodstuffs, Kang weaves together recognisable objects such as mixing bowls, doors, or fruit and resituate these items in an otherworldly context. Acting as an alchemist, Kang is eager to document processes of flux or decay which might evolve during the installation.
