“Through visual metaphors and archetypal imagery, this body of work helped me to reflect

“Chess is a deceptive game that organizes space, hierarchizes form,
and divides, by colour, what may otherwise be united
The pawn, being most numerous, is the weakest piece on the board
The knight, an archetypal technology of dominion, embodied power reined in, toy-ified, leaps in regimented bouts of freedom”- Becoming Rat
