Engulfing the broken baby bed and antenna, the soft forms strive to represent figures or bodies, but rather, I wish they could evoke forces and energies that would suggest some kind of animalistic entanglement. The assemblage setup was also intended to create a sense of instability to the viewers. As only in a state of disequilibrium, we might be able to experience the threat of life; in other words, the upsurging of life could therefore be realised when death appears so close.  Also, by situating the idea of sex (an adult event) on a broken baby bed, somehow reflects a break to the end goal of reproduction. “The Good, the Bed and the Snuggly” is an attempt to combine the desiring of little death and the rebirth,  resulting in a state of collision and rupture that invites subconscious fantasies and repressed childhood memories to seep through.
