A strainer is an object used to separate or dissect two compounds, typically a liquid from a solid. This object, intervened with thread in which a recognizable image for all (world map) has been hand-embroidered, engages in contradictory assessments such as absorption and filtration, fragility and hardness. Consequently, the conceptual framework of this performative object proposal is a reflection on life and the unpredictability of death. The certainty of life's uncerta inty is being able to see how it gradually filters, disseminates, spreads, progresses, and fades over time.
