The Subjective Suites
The Subjective Suites & Memories of Air consist of two separate - yet well interwoven parts - for which The Subjective Suites is an artefact based collection of perspectives on air. None of these are actually qualities of the air itself. In this regard every piece included embodies an idea of something we almost don't have in our minds - yet this something is needed for survival - every single instant of our lives.
The writings on each item is also the title. Every title is written as a subjective thought - as to reinforce the understanding of the spectator's role in experiencing the individual works.
