The Waiting Room explores the liminal space between living and dying, imagining a version of that moment that is peaceful and imbued with a connection towards Earth. The piece shows cut outs and projections of “living fossils”, organisms that are largely recognizable on Earth today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago, such as ginkgo trees, species of pine, and lotuses. These living fossils represent the boundary between immortality and decay, while the circular motion hints at a sense of timelessness.
