With this meditative exercise, I create physical documentation of a labor-based performance. After shaping a circular clay mould, I meticulously lay down grains of rice in a grid patter. This action is repeated, without breaks, until the rice grid covers the entire mould. Plaster is then poured over the grains, preserving a performative artifact on an intensive physical and mental exercise.
