Installation view, Vancouver Art Gallery’s commision for Offsite, Vancouver
Terracotta, burlap, sand, bricks, foam, steel, vinyl
Commissioned by the Vancouver Art Gallery for its Offsite location, TIME TO LET GO... examines the act of screaming as both a cathartic release and a mode of contestation, probing the tension between private vulnerability and public expression. Participants are invited to scream into terracotta vessels—objects that embody both fragility and resilience, their material history stretching across civilizations—challenging the boundaries between personal exposure and collective experience.
Situated in downtown Vancouver amid luxury residences and commercial spaces, the installation reconfigures an urban environment shaped by privatization into a temporary site for communal vulnerability and reflection. In a landscape where structures once designed to support human agency now operate autonomously—often muting individual expression—TIME TO LET GO... interrogates whether spaces remain within these entrenched systems for critique, disruption, and the reclamation of genuine public voice.
