Ephemeral Presage is an ongoing installation project using wind as a medium in fiber sculptures to investigate the relationship between environmental instability and political systems. A Confucian principle describes the influence of leadership through the relationship between wind and grass; the grass bends in response to the wind, just as a society responds to those who govern it. The work draws a contemporary parallel between intensifying wind patterns and the global rise of authoritarian political leadership.

The fiber sculptures are activated by the wind, allowing an external force to determine their movement, form, and physical response to mounting pressure. Installed in nationally protected land and farmland, the sculptures are directly subjected to changing atmospheric conditions. Their movement, deformation, and collapse are determined by the environment rather than the artist, creating temporary encounters with forces that cannot be fully predicted or controlled.
