In her work, “Sewer Cover”, a manhole cover is loosely cast in soil and embedded in carpet. As we witness it crumble, it reveals a sequence of thoughts—one being the fact that the very material it is made out of is that from which it sets out to protect us. It suggests that it is no longer reliable, and that at the slightest breeze, it could blow away.
