Who has weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? This is a grand thought that I often think, inspired by the words of an ancient prophet - Isaiah, who said -

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has measured [a] the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel?"

Grandeur, Magnificence, Greatness, Vastness, Splendour... of the universe! But why these thoughts? Consider it with me...

The universe, its vastness, magnificence, and perfection - given to us. What is our place in it?

Plastic bags, the material used in this work, are omnipresent in my city, filling up landfills and gutters everywhere. Is there someone paying attention to this environmental problem?

Thousands of used plastic bags that hold the collective memories of the many people who used them, those who sourced them, and all who assist in my work. The bags are calm, still, silent, yet loud.
