Aarti Pillai (b. 2000, Singapore) presents body~sea: a corporeal narratology of tide borne bone, a profound exploration of the intricate bond between the human body and the oceanic natural world. Through new media based oceanic aesthetics and a deconstruction of anthropocentric views, Pillai's work challenges conventional notions of personhood, as an invitation to consider the body and self as a creature laced into the natural world. body~sea illustrates the humanistic internal rhythm, resonating with the cycles and patterns of the natural world where the boundaries between body and sea blur.
Through the intricate interplay between bone, shell, and coral—elements derived from the same source—Pillai deconstructs anthropocentric views and challenges us to contemplate the delicate relationship between our human form and the ever-changing currents of the ocean. body~sea is a testament to the artist's dedication to environmental justice and the imperative to restore planetary health.

Towards the evening, amidst the lengthening of shadows, feel yourself awash in gifts. Glass who was once sand upon the beach, washed back and forth; bathed in foam and soft song of wind. Creature of sun, moon, wind, sea. The moon lulls the bated breathes of your ocean as her ribs rise and crash with the tides and her aching hips bud bouquets of coral to safeguard their power.

An independent art centre with an ultra progressive vision, it's worth venturing out to the outskirts of town for its exhibitions and dawning experimental electronic nights.
