Oto-Abasi Attah’s practice and eponymous installation, Don’t Forget to Touch Grass, emerges from this space. In a world where people’s lives are mapped out because of what is seen on television and social media, incessantly suggesting to us what we should and should not do, Attah’s practice persists a realization that our differences are what bring us together, and what makes the world a beautiful place is precisely that. "Touching grass" is, hence, a call to action as well as a mantra. A meditation in mindfulness practice. Enjoying where one’s feet land - and making the most of one’s time while they explore their surroundings and discover themselves. Just like flowers, Attah demonstrates, we all want to exist and be as we were created. Attah has imagined a space where people can be the flowers that we are: beautiful entities that are all different, but work together in harmony with the will of existence. "Don't Forget to Touch Grass" will be on view through September 15, 2023.
