We weave and reconstruct the traces of women's existence under climate change by observing and deconstructing the scenes of women's labour in the fishing industry and in their lives, as well as their tools, crops and so on, emphasising the symbiotic relationship between women and the climate ecology. Our materials are mostly from abandoned materials, in line with the principle of sustainable development, and we have organised these messy but related elements into a group of sculptures and a video. Messages of waste, decay, degradation, labour, and femininity are entwined in the sculptures, and the presentation is informed by the French artist Gaëlle Choisne's method of expression, who uses a mixture of building materials, metal, glass, ceramics, and even organic resins and textiles to create fragile equilibriums in an interdependent way, and we are searching for our own equilibriums in our materials.
