About this work
Iota's pencil looks broken the moment it is dipped in water, then straight again when it comes out. Are her eyes mistaken, or is something happening between the pencil and her eyes? While Wong Nam patiently holds the pencil still, Iota changes places, guesses and draws to follow the path of the light. A story about the refraction of light and the patience of two people waiting for each other.
