The hummingbird flaps it's wings up to 52 times a second in order to hover.
Her wings extend throughout the whole stroke, forming a symmetrical figure of eight. Infinity. So much effort to just stay put.

‘I Walk In Swirls’ reflects on the state of migration; or rather on immigration as a state of infinite migration; on the immigrant as one that carries the inherent failure to arrive.

The exhibition presents 9 video performances and objects created over the past 15 years, all dealing with the state of transient identity, mediated through monitors and projections.
