This work records words that can describe both sexual activity and domestic labour, bringing them together into a sticky and ambiguous linguistic system in which care and desire are no longer clearly separated, but seep into and contaminate one another. The gelatin bubbles hovering above resemble cleaning in progress, the unrinsed foam, traces about to disappear. Fragile, damp, and slowly dissolving, they point to the temporality of care work: repetitive, fleeting, yet deeply intimate. The piece invites viewers to reconsider how labour itself can become a form of intimacy.
