NEW acquisition
IMMA – Irish Museum of Modern Art
The Journey of One Breath (2024)

Very grateful to IMMA – Irish Museum of Modern Art for the acquisition of my installation The Journey of One Breath (2024) into the National Collection.

The group of works acquired constitutes a complete installation of video, silks, mural painting, music, and a jellyfish-mother hammock. The Journey of One Breath is an ecosystem made of breath, bodies, water, and time.

A meaningful moment, and an honour to be part of this important group of new acquisitions.
