At certain moments of the day, light shining through an image mounted on the wall baths the sculpture in coloured light. A code was developed to insert text inside the binary code of a digital image, hence creating a glitch. Collaborating with a palliative care centre, a digital image of an emotionally charged site of the centre was altered by inserting into its binary code words found carved on a wall of the centre. The result is a distorted image.
The work wishes to create generous condition for life to happen again. In fact light and plants should normally allow for growth to happen, for regenerations to take place, but in this case the lack of chlorophyll of the plants keeps them paused in time.
