Salt Spilled

The private lives of immigrants remain a mystery to the average Canadian. Salt Spilled is a series of video installations that attempt to break open the walls between diverse communities — quite literally.

artist intent.

Salt Spilled was one of the first projection mapping video installations I did, way back in 2014. With this piece, I asked: what would be like to see through your neighbours’ walls? Through a seemingly transparent wall, Salt Spilled invited us to peer into neighbouring moments that would otherwise remain under wraps.

In this now socially-distanced world, where wider social nets cannot be cast – this project has become more relevant than ever.

I’m planning to do other iterations of this concept when the sun gets warmer. Check back for my updates.
