"Like an epiphany, Descendant (2012–ongoing) is an aerial sculpture, with no mass, suspended in the darkness. The threadlike structure of the sculpture is composed of concretions of residual materials such as ash, and natural materials like volcanic sand, sourced from deep geological strata, tracing out a slender design in space. Installed on the structure–which in its winding, symmetrical form retains a biomorphic imprint–there is a system of programmed holographic LEDs projected onto a fabric of highly reflective glass microspheres, mapping out a constellation within the exhibition space. The past and future, nature and technology, earth and air, geological depth and the cosmos, coexist in Descendant which, together with The Living (2011–ongoing) and The Ancestors (2017–ongoing) forms the long-term environmental installation entitled Family Reunion, reflecting on energy fields and the circularity of time."
