Together like lichen
Forming the root
interwoven
Interdependent
like mycelium
Serpent skin itching to be shed
What decomposes, fertilizes.
Return ε is a prayer on transformation. Honoring cycles of change, generating, growing, dying, decaying + renewal. It honors + grieves what must die inside of ourselves + collectively to fertilize what may grow.
Through the duration of this installation, visitors are invited to bring offerings to the community altar with consideration of the following questions:
What grounds you?
What must you release from your grips?
What are you still learning?
What are you attached to?
How might your attachment to your safety + comfort put others in danger?
How will you release comfort to redistribute safety?
How will we show up for each other materially? Out of duty, rather than as savior?
