PEAS

A hand with red nail polish moves peas one by one from a pile on the left into a clear bowl on the right. The action unfolds against a stark white background. The simple act accumulates resonance. The empty bowl gains a presence as it fills, taking on an identity it did not hold at the start. The growing hole in the pile contrasts with the fullness in the bowl, marking both absence and continuation.

Thirty minutes of the same action, performed with little variation, makes the mundane deliberate; the hand’s steady rhythm formalizes what could otherwise be dismissed as nothing. What begins as ordinary becomes a meditation on weight—both physical and symbolic. Peas reveals how the smallest, most familiar acts can gather significance across time, carrying forward the enduring legacies of repetition.
