In canopy, latex casts of cypress knees merge with those of architectural fragments, emerging from a brick wall. Cypress trees thrive in wet environments thanks to their deep root systems, with “knees” that exchange oxygen to stabilize in waterlogged soils. The knees casted are specific to residential suburban communities, highlighting how the gnarled roots return to these sites despite repeated extermination because they blindly remember a time when the area was subaquatic. Casting the roots and meditating on this pattern, the installation ruminates on the equilibrium of breath, how inhale leads to exhale, collapse leads to expansion, and on and on.
