Pepper Spray responds to police violence across Hong Kong, Gadigal country and USA in 2020. The sculptures are an attempt to diffuse the mimesis of dehumanisation and domination by fusing together a non-violent and passive ‘pepper spray.’ I fuse salt, as the symbol of saline, love and healing with pepper, the symbol of police brutality and political fear to explore what a language of love against fear is. The metal wire threaded in bandages corrodes as time passes, the bright pepper fades to a mild brown as anger subsides. Salt and pepper diffuses itself as tears saving tears.
