Maker's statement

‘The heavenly plan, wade in my water’ creates a spiritual revival for cyborgs. It introduces a spiritual practice for cyborgs, it includes a form of baptism. Also, it creates "a space for cyborgs to inhabit before transcendence". After the space for childhood memories ("Neighbourhood Garden"), this new series explores transcendence and the spiritual dimension.
