One of the tasks I have to do in the restaurant is to clean the table with soap and water. After a day, the dust gathers again. Looking at them, I think:
Everyday cleaning is like making space for the dust to come...

 

I worked as a cleaning staff member and waitress at a Chinese restaurant during the summer of 2020. I performed tasks such as vacuum cleaning, removing dusty and oily surfaces, clearing fallen leaves and spider webs, cleaning the toilet, and the kitchen. The restaurant became a study field where I observed how dirt and cleaning are opposites, yet they belong to one another.

To question what it might mean to make nothing out of something, I match the cleaning elements as dancing partners to explore the laborious nature of human.
