“Parasite X” is a body of work ranging from sculpture, installation, and video exploring the human versus nature theme. What seems to be an untouched landscape is disturbed by a mischievous character- unable to escape imminent danger. The woman (antagonist) is suddenly attacked and defeated by the (protagonist) water hose, which appears from the lake. Perhaps a sign that this seemingly empty land is already occupied.

In the installation of Parasite X, the garden hose—distributor of water, mediator of fantasy and reality—appears as intestine-like tubing, enlarged at one end to accept a human body, thereby evoking the organ of fertility as well as of digestion.

For the performance, the hose is stretched out from the inside of the gallery space to the outside garden and leads the viewer around the corner on a voyeuristic quest to see what awaits them. At the very end of the hose the scale is drastically enlarged to fit a body inside of it. It is here that the artist is entrapped and entangled with the rest of the hose and its immediate surroundings, emitting water and saliva in the garden and onto whoever dares to come close.
