Explorations slowly begins to unravel some of the many tessellations of urban experience. As a projection, the user encounters the scene as a small cityscape, gradually emerging out of mortar and concrete. Little by little, the scene starts to unravel; and similar to the way that we bear our scars and our marks as a visual history of our life, the city bursts forth with the history of its inhabitants and the elements of its structure. And as the viewer is enveloped by these aggregate materials, objects, and people, he or she becomes a part of a new history and place, continuing a new cycle of things to come.

Explorations was shown as part of Conflux Festival, an art and technology festival for the creative exploration of urban public space, with the generous donation of exhibition space from Two Trees Management Inc.
