A Dose of Truth explores the blurred line between the material world and the metaphysical, where perception itself becomes a form of intuition or divination. At its core is a belief system that dissolves the separation between living and non-living matter, suggesting instead that everything exists along a shared continuum of presence and awareness. Within this belief, bugs— whether understood literally or symbolically— become messengers. They function as liminal connectors between visible and invisible realms, shifting between object, organism, and sign.

The work exists not only as artwork but as companion object in daily life, placed on a bedside table, carried in a toiletry bag, or resting on a bathroom counter. Everyday objects are not treated as inert or disposable, but as active carriers of meaning, holding space within these domestic thresholds where attention naturally drifts in and out. A Dose of Truth lives alongside routines of waking, grooming, and rest, turning ordinary environments into sites of quiet observation and attunement. Arranging these materials becomes a kind of ritual practice, where proximity and repetition transform looking into seeing and feeling. Ultimately, the work positions the artist, (me) as a translator of subtle signals within the world, framing creating as a ceremonial act that reveals how everything, no matter how small or overlooked or dead, actually holds life.
