Subsidiary is a sculpture featuring a digital screen suspended between two tablet stands. The screen plays a looping image of a rainforest tree branch, visually bridging the physical gap between the two metal poles.
 

By utilising everyday technology found in homes and public spaces, the piece speaks to shared, collective ideals. The video—a stationary shot of a moving branch—creates an illusion of connection between the disjointed stands. This acts as a direct metaphor for modern corporate behavior, critiquing how businesses use performative, audience-seeking activities to signal their conformity to social demands..
