Addiction 1 (Global Tea)

This mixed-media assemblage reads like an intimate archive pinned open—tea-bag sachets stained with repeated animal visages march in a quiet grid across a softened map, as if memory itself were being catalogued by touch and residue. The translucent lavender floral veil drifts over the surface like a domestic curtain, tempering the cartographic authority beneath and turning geography into something lived-in, private, and porous. Loose threads and taped edges refuse a clean finish, making the work feel provisional—an elegy for displacement where journeys are counted in small, humble units rather than grand narratives. In its muted browns and violets, the piece holds a tender tension between containment and seepage, suggesting how histories migrate, steep, and leave marks that cannot be fully erased.
