PERFECT STRANGER is an installation where vast sheets of paper, ebbing with words and gradient hues, lie in parallel synchronicity to form a soft stratosphere of colour. Each sheet emits a phosphorescence, arising from a synthesis of shades unique to, and reflective of its script.

This verbose, colour-drenched body of work is a distilled collection of texts, drawn from a daily Q&A project with a stranger, an Israeli psychologist, over a year. It is a fossilized, fleeting exchange between two women from different pasts, presents and futures.

At once, a static yet glimmering vista of shades, the installation is visually emblematic of the irony and balance in binaries and dualities — between the monumental and mundane, stillness and change, materiality and ephemerality, was and is, hello and goodbye.
