As part of ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, Florence Lam embarks on a journey from a contained space to the boundless ocean, reflecting on fertility, abortion, and host-guest dynamics from within.

Departing from her habitat at Para Site, the artist transitions to the coast for Ocean Birth, a continuation of her earlier work Maternal Water (2022). Fluid sustains the foetus within the womb but drowns it once detached; it reincarnates through cycles of contamination and purity; and it carries weight yet evaporates. Navigating between land and ocean, Lam manifests the duality of fluid through her body and various materials, signalling the possibility of transcendence.
