In a society that often strives towards an ideological state of perfection,
Ray entices us to embrace our already complete, normless, dirty being.
Through mixed media, they seek to reconnect us with each other and our surroundings, challenging the viewer to keep questioning the conventional.

At Waag Futurelab, they have completed their own project, as well as assisting with their annual Biohack Academy course.
