Rae-Yen's practice is an ever-evolving exercise in worlding, informed by ancestral mythologies, Daoism, family ritual, more-than-human politics, and science fact-fiction. The exhibition envelops visitors in an eternal night: an entangled ecology of microscopic life, ancestral energy, and environmental flux. A sprawling creature occupies the gallery, which Rae-Yen sees as an embodiment of tua mak 大眼 – a relative known only through family myth, who drowned at sea in 1950s Singapore. Rae-Yen imagines the watery decomposition of tua mak’s body and its consumption by innumerable others, conjuring tua mak as a dispersed life-system, cycling eternally through continuous change and perpetual migration.
