This Bedwork centers around the space underneath the bed as the loci of fears and fantasies stretched between horror and eroticism. The partially visible human figure stands in lieu of an imaginary, racialized queer community while the bottle of Moroccan wine references both the colonial period in Morocco and Dyonisian rituals of emotional catharsis. The drawing features a prominent light source that touches parts of the objects within the frame while obscuring others, creating an inlaid structure that interweaves what’s readily visible and what remains hidden, in a critical engagement with history, memory and transmission.
