Black Grape, 2016-2017, Two Channels Video, Handmade book, Paraffin Blocks 118 Pieces

A black grape — her grandmother's favourite fruit — was submitted to the same analytical process used for cancer cells in a pathology laboratory. Cell images, process documentation, and handwritten notes became a handmade book; 118 grapes were embedded in paraffin blocks. The grapes were then turned into molasses, placed in bowls, and offered to viewers to eat.

The work moves between scientific protocol and domestic practice, between preservation and transformation. Informed by Felix González-Torres's understanding of participation and consumption as artistic gesture, the molasses could be taken into the body — passed on, shared, disappeared. What begins as clinical analysis ends as something that passes through people. The tension between these two gestures — fixing and releasing, preserving and consuming — runs through the work as a whole.
