“To speak to the core that creates and swallows, to speak not always to what’s shouting, but to what’s underneath asking for nothing. I am at the mouth of the cave. I am willing to crawl.” - Ada Limon
That Which We Fear, That Which We Love presents observations of human time from the perspective of serpentine figures from Latin-American myth dwelling within a liminal space at the center of the Earth. Through the imbued significance of items that have been buried as well as discarded relics of the Anthropocene, these observations consider the social, animal, and environmental violence of the human epoch and its ramifications for the future. This liminal space explores both a depth of the Earth that remains beyond colonization and the human response when confronted with the notion of afterlife.
