As in Your glacial-dust garden and Your obsidian garden, this work features a material taken from one context and transported to the current location: tar residue that lay on a beach in Qatar as a result of oil spills, both naturally occurring and human-caused. The tar was brought here and arranged in a circle, similarly to the installations in Your glacial-dust garden and Your obsidian garden. These three pavilions can be understood in relation to one another thematically. Each reflects one of the massive forces shaping our planet: volcanism, the retreat of the glaciers, and finally the petroleum pollution resulting from human extraction of carbon fuels.
