"The installation presents a textual reference to a commonly used contemporary English expression – 'You Have No Idea' – spelled hazily around the room’s perimeter. Countless strands of white thread stretch from the text to a cluster of forms situated at the center of the project space. Supported by neodymium rare earth magnets, the forms pull each thread taut and suspended in midair. Exhibiting a perplexing natural phenomenon in conjunction with an offhand expression, 'You Have No Idea' comprises a quiet and organic spectacle, instigating for the viewer a confrontation with humility and the unknown."
