The project was an installation for a group show at a live/work collective house in Elephant and Castle, London with 9 other artists. The exhibition theme explored domesticity and communal living.

The work examines other organisms that live in the house in sync with us and draws attention to hidden matter or dust, which humans tend to disengage with, looking into micro/macro ecosystems that contribute to the cosmos. The work was influenced by Hartmut Bitomsky's film Staub (Dust).

The artist wrote text from the perspective of experiencing the house at a micro level as an insect. The performance involved moving a USB microscope across the artist's body on an enlarged microscopic stage, with live footage projected to alter audience perception of scale and space.
